Ten-year experience in the surgical management of craniosynostosis. A series of 96 consecutive patients
2022, Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery: Advanced Techniques and Case ManagementCitation Excerpt :We found a male preponderance within the sagittal synostosis patients; 31 (86%) males. The increased occurrence of sagittal synostosis in males is related to larger fetal head size during the third trimester of pregnancy, resulting in a higher degree of physical constraint of the head in the maternal pelvis. [17] Congenital heart malformations were the most frequent associated to CS.
Mechanical and morphological properties of parietal bone in patients with sagittal craniosynostosis
2022, Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical MaterialsCitation Excerpt :The role that gender may play in predisposing an individual to certain forms of CS has been of interest. It has been suggested that the male predominance in certain forms of CS is attributable to a larger head circumference in male fetuses resulting in a higher degree of intrauterine constraint (Graham et al., 1979; Sloan et al., 1997), while in other studies higher levels of circulating serum androgens (Lin et al., 2007), dysregulation of osteoblast differentiation and genetic factors were demonstrated to contribute to development of sagittal CS and gender related differences (Park et al., 2015). There is limited research available on how the gender difference can affect the material and morphological properties of bone.
