Abstract

Anterior plagiocephaly is a result of premature unilateral fusion of the coronary suture. It is the third most common form of non-syndromic craniosynostoses. Its main features include forehead, supraorbital arch and anterior cranial fossa deformation as well as orbital asymmetry. Te treatment is surgical. Te main aim is to relieve compressed brain tissue and achieve an acceptable aesthetic effect. We describe a boy with anterior plagiocephaly, who has undergone an extensive craniofacial reconstruction.
