    Orbitofacial morphology changes with different suture synostoses in Crouzon syndrome
    (2022) LU, Xiaona; FORTE, Antonio Jorge; JUNN, Alexandra; DINIS, Jacob; ALPEROVICH, Michael; ALONSO, Nivaldo; PERSING, John A.
    This study aims to investigate the influence of different cranial vault suture synostoses on orbital and periorbital morphological development in Crouzon syndrome. Computed tomography (CT) scans of Crouzon syndrome patients who had not undergone operation were subgrouped as follows: type I: bicoronal synostosis; type II: sagittal synostosis; type III: pansynostosis; type IV: perpendicular combinations of suture synostoses; and type V: bilateral squamosal synostosis. CT scans were measured using Materialise software. CT scans of 80 Crouzon syndrome patients and 72 normal controls were included. Orbital bony cavity volume was reduced in all subgroups (16-24%), including type V bilateral squamosal synostosis (16%, p = 0.003), although the reduction in type II sagittal synostosis Crouzon patients failed to reach statistical significance (p = 0.071). Globe volume was reduced only in type I bicoronal synostosis (9%, p = 0.018), while the retrobulbar soft tissue volume decreased in type III pansynostosis group by 11% (p = 0.005). Globe volume projection beyond the orbital rim was increased in all groups (p < 0.001), with the greatest increase in type IV perpendicular combination of sutures synostoses, by 100% (p < 0.001). The anteroposterior length of maxilla was significantly shortened in type I (10%, p = 0.028) and type III (9%, p = 0.022) but developed normally in other groups, although the maxilla was posteriorly displaced in all groups (all p <= 0.026). The influence of squamosal synostosis on craniofacial malformation is not equivalent to that of a major vault suture. Therefore, subtype suture fusion individualized surgical interventions, after initial occipital expansion, likely provide additional benefits in mitigating oculo-orbital disproportion.
