The pitfalls and advantages of the surgical technique are discussed, along with the long-term clinical results in 48 consecutive cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Forty-eight consecutive patients in whom trigonocephaly was diagnosed between 1990 and 2009 were treated with frontal bone rotation and frontoorbital bandeau remodeling. Of these patients, 38 (79%) were boys and 10 (21%) were girls. The age at the time of surgical treatment ranged between 4 and 42 months (mean \u00b1 SD 11.4 \u00b1 8.7 months). The average follow-up period was 5.5 \u00b1 4.2 years (range 5 months\u201319 years). The preoperative and latest postoperative photographs of the patients were evaluated for the following features: 1) shape of the forehead; 2) hypotelorism; and 3) temporal depression. Scores of 0, 1, or 2 were assigned for each item: 0 was normal, 1 meant moderate deformity, and 2 denoted severe deformity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In the early postoperative period, no complications were documented. The average hospitalization period was 4 days. Follow-up radiographs or 3D CT scans were obtained at regular intervals. The mean preoperative scores for the evaluated items were 1.38 \u00b1 0.49 for the shape of the forehead, 1.33 \u00b1 0.48 for hypotelorism, and 1.7 \u00b1 0.46 for the temporal depression. The mean postoperative scores were 0.06 \u00b1 0.24 for the shape of the forehead, 0.21 \u00b1 0.4 for hypotelorism, and 0.67 \u00b1 0.48 for the temporal depression. Overall, the total preoperative score dropped from 4.4 to 0.93 postoperatively (p &lt; 0.05). All the patients were contented with the cosmetic results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Early detection and treatment of metopic suture synostosis has a significant, favorable influence on the outcomes.
