What is Craniosynostosis?

Craniosynostosis is a congenital condition that must be treated by a specialist to correct and prevent long-term health problems.

Craniosynostosis is a congenital condition in which one or more cranial sutures, which are the junctions between the bones of the skull, close prematurely during fetal development or in early childhood.

This can cause a deformity in the shape of the skull and, in some cases, pressure on the brain. Most children with craniosynostosis will need surgery by a pediatric neurosurgeon to correct the deformity and prevent long-term health problems. With proper treatment, many children can lead healthy, active lives after surgery.

Treatment for craniosynostosis is surgery to correct the skull deformity and prevent long-term health problems, which should be performed by an experienced specialist, such as a pediatric neurosurgeon. Surgery is usually done during the first few months of the baby’s life and may involve the release of one or more closed cranial sutures and reconstruction of the skull to restore its normal shape.

Surgery for craniosynostosis is a safe and effective procedure when performed by a specialist, and many children make a full recovery after surgery. After the procedure, the child will require medical follow-up to make sure his skull and brain are growing properly.

It is important for parents to seek early medical attention from a pediatric neurosurgeon if they suspect their child may have craniosynostosis. Early treatment can help prevent long-term health problems and give your child the best chance at a healthy, active life.
