Craniosynostosis

Craniosynostosis

Abstract

AbstractCraniosynostosis affects approximately one infant out of one thousand. Increase of intracranial pressure and risks of functional problems are more frequent than previously thought, especially in single‐suture synostosis. Frontocranial remodeling will correct both functional and esthetic consequences of craniosynostosis. The best time for surgery is the first year of life, 2–3 months of age for the brachycephalies, and 6–9 months of age for the other craniosynostoses. Not only does growth not deteriorate after forehead remodeling, but the adjacent orbitonasal areas improve with time. In Crouzon's disease and Apert's syndrome, early frontal advancement does not prevent the midface retrusion, and a radical frontofacial advancement may be occasionally indicated in very severe cases. Frontocranial remodeling is also indicated in children presenting with sequelae of classical neurosurgical treatment or those who have had no treatment.
