Abstract
A method of lateral orbital rim advancement is described for periorbital deformities associated with coronal and metopic synostosis in infants. The technique offers the advantages of a smooth lateral rim contour and improvement in accompanying malar recession. In 13 patients with follow-up periods of up to 2 years following surgery, improved orbital contour has been appreciated. Further observation is warranted to determine whether this improvement will last into adulthood.
