Introduction/Background: Lambdoid craniosynostosis (LC) is the premature fusion of the unilateral or bilateral lambdoid suture. It is a rare condition associated with neurodevelopmental implications across different ages. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for a positive outcome.
Case Presentation: Here, we report the case of an 11-month-old male patient diagnosed with LC, presenting facial shift and altered ear positioning consistent with the condition. For the case, we employed the revolution spiral technique, a less invasive corrective method that minimizes bone loss and reduces postoperative morbidity. The patient showed no complications during surgery and was then evaluated 3 months after surgery, showing correction of the cranial deformity and no procedure-related complications.
Conclusions : We propose the revolution spiral technique as an effective alternative for the surgical management of LC, with minimal associated risks.
