Abstract

Introduction: Expansion of the posterior cranial vault can be used to treat cephalocranial disproportion and cranial vault dysmorphology. Posterior cranial vault distraction osteogenesis has been described in syndromic patients with craniosynostosis as a viable method for expanding the posterior cranial vault, and has potential advantages over traditional expansion. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the utility of posterior cranial vault distraction osteogenesis for treating a variety of craniosynostosis and cranial vault anomalies, as well as to review the development of a cranial-specific distraction device.
