Abstract

The premature fusion of the sagittal suture (scaphocephaly) may be associated with intracranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics alterations resulting in pericerebral effusion (PE) and/or ventriculomegaly. However, the etiology and development of such collections are not fully elucidated. The aims of this study are to clarify the characteristics of intracranial CSF collection in scaphocephaly, consider the role of surgery, and analyze the prognostic factor on CSF dynamics. The pre- and postoperative cerebral imaging of 63 children (48 boys, 15 girls) with scaphocephaly who underwent craniotomy with decompression of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) before 6 months of age between 2008 and 2015 were retrospectively studied. The PE was compared to the estimated value corrected for age (normal control). Evans' index (EI) was calculated. Correlations among these values and indices were analyzed. Preoperatively, 36 of 63 patients (57 %) had larger PE than expected, and 36 of 63 patients (57 %) had pathological EI (EI > 0.3), and among them, 26 (46 %) had both. Patients with large PE tended to have pathological EI (p = 0.005). The PE and the EI were significantly decreased postoperatively (p < 0.001). The PE decreased faster than th...Continue Reading
