두개하 Le Fort Ⅲ 골절단술에 의한 중안면 발육부전 환자의 치험례 = A CASE REPORT OF SURGICAL CORRECTION OF MIDFACIAL DEFICIENCE BY SUBCRANIAL LE FORT Ⅲ OSTEOTOMY

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The midfacial deficiency is usually accompanied with congenital craniofacial synostosis, such as Crouzon, Apert, Pfeiffer, Carpenter, Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, and so on. But sometimes isolated midfacial deficiency without cranial malformations may appeared, the cause of which is congenital, hereditary, or secondary to developmental factors, such as infection and trauma to middle face.
Since Sir Harold Gillies reposted the first high maxillary osteotomy that alleviated the problems of total midfacial deficiency, the various operative methods were developed by many clinicians, such as Longacre and Tessier.
These procedures can enlarge the orbital volume and decreases exorbitism. As middle face was moved forward, these functional, esthetic, and psychologic advantages were resulted from this.
This is a case of midfacial deficiency corrected by the subcranial Le Fort Ⅲ osteotomy through only coronal approach.
