BACKGROUND: Premature fusion of the metopic suture results in a type of craniosynostosis known as trigonocephaly. The treatment of trigonocephaly is surgical and is likely to remain so. Surgical methods and techniques for correction of craniosynostosis-related skull deformities have evolved, and a single best procedure is yet to be presented.
CASE REPORT: Here we present a technical remark in a case of open cranial vault reconstruction.
CONCLUSION: Although the literature, in general, prefers barrel stave (radial) frontal bone osteotomies, a technique with longitudinal frontal bone osteotomies were performed, without fixation of the bony flaps, frontal bone or supraorbital arch, with a quite satisfactory result.
