The results of this study suggest that NLR may serve as a potential biomarker to predict the severity of postoperative facial oedema and may assist clinicians in their decision-making process when managing the postoperative inflammatory response.

A retrospective review was conducted on patients with ULC who underwent posterior cranial vault remodeling with switch cranioplasty from both centers. All patients who underwent posterior cranial vault remodeling with occipital switch cranioplasty and had three-dimensional (3D) images obtained pre-operatively and around 2 years post-operatively were included.

On average, the lateral cephalometric radiographs might provide an adequate representation of the facial profile, but when individual patients are considered, there is often a clinically significant error. Thus, lateral cephalograms should be used with caution to evaluate the facial soft-tissue profile.
