Macroglossia can lead to abnormal breathing, feeding, speech, and dentoskeletal development. Partial glossectomy is a common intervention aimed at reducing these abnormalities.

Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), bone density relative grayscale values of the region of new bone formation before and 3 to 4 months after mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) were measured in 80 children with PRS, and correlation analysis was conducted with the potential clinical influencing factors of the children. CBCT reconstruction of the panoramic film showed that the new bone formation was good at 3 to 4 months after MDO. There was a statistically significant difference in the gray value of cancellous bone before and after the operation (P<0.01). The gray values of bilateral mandibular new bone after MDO were related to cleft palate, preoperative weight, preoperative body mass index (BMI), and distraction length. Finally, the variables included in the multiple linear regression model were cleft palate and preoperative BMI. At 3 to 4 months after MDO, the mineralization degree of cancellous bone in the central region of the bilateral mandibular new bone formation area was lower. The presence of cleft palate and preoperative BMI were identified as the main factors influencing the new bone formation in bilateral mandibles after MDO.

Craniofacial surgeons commonly use halo-type devices for these corrections, as they allow for multiple vectors of pull and facilitate larger midfacial advancements. Although most complications related to their use involve pin displacement or infection, rare complications such as skull fractures have been reported. At 3 months of age, a patient with Apert Syndrome underwent endoscopic-assisted craniectomies for bilateral coronal craniosynostosis. After a year of helmet therapy, he developed pansynostosis and required fronto-orbital advancement. Later at the age of 6, a Le Fort III distraction using a RED II rigid external distractor was performed to address his midfacial hypoplasia, exorbitism, and severe obstructive sleep apnea. While placing the RED II distractor, a shift in the device was noted upon pin fixation, raising suspicion for a unilateral depressed skull fracture. Although computed tomography imaging revealed pin displacement, there was no clinical indication for immediate repair. Given the surgical and psychological burden this could have on the patient, the decision was made to leave the RED II device in place and proceed with the distraction. After distraction and an 8-week latency period for complete consolidation of the facial bony architecture, the RED II device was removed, and the skull fracture was repaired. In patients with multi-operated skulls and residual cranial defects, halo-type devices may present an increased risk of skull fractures.
