Video Summary

A three-year-old with Crouzon syndrome and papilledema was treated at our hospital after an initial non-functioning shunt. Her condition improved following a frontal orbital advancement. At age eight, she developed sleep apnea and lag of thalamus, prompting a monoblock osteotomy and facial bi-partition to correct orbital morphology. Surgical procedures included bi-frontal craniotomy, orbital and pterygomaxillary osteotomies, and palate splitting. Post-surgery, the patient showed improved mid-face projection, airway function, and orbital shape. The surgery's success was evident in telemedicine follow-ups during COVID.
