Skull, stereolithography cast

Object numberED.CS.2014.7
TitleSkull, stereolithography cast
DescriptionStereolithographic model in five parts of hypertelorism, based on a CT scan.
The treatment of moderate to severe deformities to severe deformities involves surgery to reduce the interorbital distance and to correct nasal abnormalities through an intercranial surgical approach it frees the bony orbits and repositions them closer together with the eyes. The bone grafts fill the defects and fragments are stablised with miniplate fixation providing structural support and filling in the spaces. Early surgery may lead to a recurrence of the condition but for psychological reasons relatively early surgery is carried out to minimize the deformity and maximise the ophthamological benefits.
