Morphological analysis of posterior fossa in Apert and Crouzon syndromes before and after posterior cranial vault expansion
While PCVE increased posterior fossa volume, it did not appear to improve posterior fossa shape in either Apert or Crouzon patients. Future studies are required to address the limitations of small sample sizes, lack of post-operative data on Chiari anomaly, and surgical variability to further explore possible correlations between the aforementioned parameters.
