Showing 1 Abstract.

Computed Tomography (CT) is still recommended as the first-line imaging method for the evaluation of premature closure of cranial sutures. The aims of this exhibit are: 1. To present the anatomy and physiology of cranial sutures; 2. To discuss technical aspects of CT imaging and structured report in craniosynostosis; 3. To present the main imaging findings of isolated and syndromic craniosynostosis. Teaching cases from our institution will be employed to illustrate the following topics: 1. Cranial sutures: anatomy and time of closure; 2. Imaging evaluation of cranial sutures: sonography (US), radiograph (XR) and CT - technique and protocols; 3. Recognizing a patent suture and distinguishing a normally closed suture from synostosis; 4. Craniosynostosis: pathophysiology, clinical features and associated genetic conditions; 5. Multi-modality imaging appearance of: - Dolichocephaly; - Brachycephaly; - Trigonocephaly; - Posterior plagiocephaly. 6. The role of imaging in evaluating positional plagiocephaly 7. Syndromic craniosynostosis - main CT imaging features of: - Crouzon syndrome - Apert syndrome - Pfeiffer syndrome - Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome 8. What matters for surgery planning? Tips on how to organize your report. Read More
