Impact of extra-axial cerebrospinal fluid collection in frontal morphology after surgical treatment of scaphocephaly.
Conclusion: Two main subtypes of forehead of infants with scaphocephaly may be distinguished. Indeed, the morphology of the forehead differs when a pathologic subarachnoid spaces' enlargement is present preoperatively and it also affects the postoperative evolution. Such observation highlights the importance of evaluating whether subarachnoid spaces are enlarged when planning a surgical correction in isolated sagittal suture synostosis.
