Although pediatric neurosurgeons traditionally have been trained to perform a sagittal synostectomy for the treatment of sagittal synostosis, numerous articles advocating modifications of this procedure or more complex cranial vault reconstructions point our the inadequacies of strip craniectomy in providing optimal short- and long-term cosmesis. This review addresses the major arguments for and against performing complex cranioplasties for sagittal synostosis, as well as issues regarding timing of surgery, mortality and morbidity, increased need for blood transfusion, and increased expense. The authors support the contention that for the majority of infants with sagittal synostosis, complex calvarial vault reconstruction provides a better outcome with little increase in operative risk.

Congenital unilateral ventriculomegaly is a rare condition, usually caused by obstruction of the foramen of Monro. In the past, this condition required surgical intervention. We present a female newborn with nonprogressive unilateral ventriculomegaly which was initially detected by prenatal sonography. No surgical intervention was performed, and during the 9 months of follow-up, she had normal head growth and reached appropriate developmental milestones.
