Cranio-orbital facial scoliosis is the result of unilateral premature stenosis of the craniofacial skeleton. Plagiocephaly is only a subform of the syndrome. The deformity progresses unless operative treatment is given. Operative treatment is indicated for functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial reasons. We advocate early operation in infancy (3 to 6 months) consisting of wide resection of the stenosed sutures of the cranium and orbit, repositioning, and remodeling relying on the spontaneous autodynamic reshaping of the nasoethmoidal complex and the midface structures during the course of further growth. In adolescents and adults, multisegmental osteotomies and remodeling into a definitive position are necessary.
