Abstract
Objective: Little is known about the response of the ventricular system to cranial vault surgery in patients with craniosynostosis. This study aims to evaluate the changes in the cerebral ventricular system in response to posterior vault distraction osteogenesis (PVDO) in patients with syndromic and nonsyndromic craniosynostosis.
Methods: A single-institution retrospective review of all patients with craniosynostosis undergoing PVDO from 2000 to 2022 was completed. Patients were included for analysis if they had pre and postoperative cranial computed tomography scans. Ventricular volume (VV) and intracranial volume (ICV) were calculated using segmentation software.
Results: Both patients with syndromic synostosis and nonsyndromic synostosis (NSS) experienced a significant increase in ICV after PVDO, but only patients with NSS experienced a significant VV change ( P = 0.004). After normalization by ICV, total, lateral, and third VV changes retained significance with percentage increases of 114%, 117%, and 89%, respectively ( P < 0.05 for all).
Conclusion: The differing results between cohorts reinforce the concept that the intracranial milieu is different between patients with syndromic synostosis and NSS. The results of the NSS cohort suggest that these patients may exist in a compensated state in which a reduction in cerebral blood flow and VV allows for the maintenance of parenchymal health to prevent the development of intracranial hypertension. Further studies may explore VV as a surrogate marker of ICP elevation, and the utility of cranial vault remodeling on nonsynostotic pathologies with cephalocranial disproportion.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
