Abstract

Since 1997, the authors have instituted the use of custom-made helmets to correct craniofacial deformities associated with craniosynostosis following endoscopic-assisted craniectomies of the stenosed sutures in infants. This article presents their experience and results using helmet therapy in their patient population.
