[Congenital craniofacial pathology].
The possibility of using compact nonresorbed hydroxyapatite ceramics as synthetic bone plastic materials is discussed. Results of follow-up of 11 patients with congenital and posttraumatic deformations of the craniofacial skeleton are analyzed, to whom hydroxyapatite-based ceramic blocks were implanted for both contour plasty and for repair of bone defects. Methods of the operations with hydroxyapatite-based implants and titanium devices for fixing bone fragments and ceramic blocks are described.

[X-ray manifestations of severe congenital deformities of the visceral cranium].
The paper discusses the most rational algorithm of an X-ray study and its results obtained while analyzing X-ray findings in 320 patients with severe congenital deformities of the visceral cranium. The malformations are shown to involve not only the visceral cranium, but also the cerebral cranium and its base and they can be rarely assigned to any of the known syndromes as they have frequently something in common. The most rational scheme of a X-ray study is presented.

[Developmental defects of the facial the skull in some forms of craniosynostosis].
Changes in the facial skull of 74 patients with untimely synostosis of craniocerebral sutures and pathologic shape of the cerebral skull are characterized. All the patients presented with shortened base of the skull, gross deformations of the facial skull. Certain regularities in the formation of these defects were distinguished.

[Clinical and roentgenological characteristics of synostosis frontal plagiocephaly, induced by early synostosis of cranio-cerebral sutures].
In this study authors demonstrate description and analysis of clinical and roentgenological presentations of early synostosis of cranio-cerebral sutures in children. Roentgenological description of cranio-cerebral sutures in infants showed up their significant narrowing and the increase in shadow density, early appearance of ossifications zones in the peripheral parts of the sutures, diffuse increase of cranial bones thickness because of apposition osteogenesis disorder. Results of the study show that many alterations in the cerebral cranium are accompanied with malformations of facial skeleton.

[Comparison of the results of roentgenography, panoramic zonography and computer-aided tomography in some deformations of facial skull].
Fifty patients with congenital and posttraumatic deformations of the facial skull were examined using effective diagnostic schemes of x-ray examination (including panoramic roentgenography and sonography) and computer-aided tomography. The methods were found to supplement each other. Computer-aided tomography is more useful in posttraumatic deformations, for it helps specify the status of accessory nasal sinuses, detect the changes in the tissues of the eye-ball, optic nerve, and oculomotor muscles, and evaluate the consequences of craniocerebral injuries. The parameters obtained by three dimensional image reconstruction may be used for planning bone repair surgery.
