Summary: | To evaluate the 3-D position changes of periorbital structures after midface distraction osteogenesis in patients with Crouzon syndrome.
The CT data of 8 cases who had accepted the midface distraction osteogenesis following Le Fort III osteotomy were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were averagely 11.9 years old, and the CT was performed before and one year after operation. After 3-D image reconstruction, a right-hand coordinate system based on the preoperational Frankfurt Plane was then established. The pre- and post-operative positions of the superior orbit point (SOr), inferior orbit point (IOr), median orbit point (MOr), lateral orbit point (LOr), anterior ocularis point (AO), ocularis eyeball point (PO) and the four insertion ocularis rectus were documented and compared. The positions of these marked points in normal controls were also documented and compared with those in patients.
After midface distraction osteogenesis, the position of AO was not changed significantly on the y-axis and z-axis, bu |
