{Abstract}: Posterior cranial vault distraction osteogenesis (PCVDO) is a relatively new paradigm in the treatment of syndromic craniosynostosis, having first been introduced in 2009. PCVDO directly addresses the underdeveloped cranial vault and appears to allow for a larger increase in intracranial volume when compared to traditional techniques. Although reported as safe in the literature, critical appraisal is still required as PCVDO is a relatively uncommon procedure that may require greater numbers to detect true complication rates. The overall reported incidence of serious complications in PCVDO to date is low. This presentation highlights a rare case of sagittal sinus obstruction following posterior cranial vault distraction and raises questions as to the safest technical considerations when planning the operation.
