Our answer: He had something called Sagittal Craniosynostosis. Here is a picture of Michael exactly one week before his surgery. Michael was diagnosed at the age of almost 7 months and had the traditional surgery by the time he was 8.5 months old. Had he not had the surgery, he could possibly have vision and hearing impairments, along with mental disabilities.

http://www.cranio-facial.org

Extractions: For 25 years, our group, comprising the specialities of craniofacial and plastic surgery, and paediatric neurosurgery, has been dealing with craniofacial anomalies. Craniofacial surgery is especially involved with treating congenital craniofacial anomalies. The first group is represented by craniosynostosis or craniostenosis, in which the cranial sutures are prematurely fused, distorting the cranial vault (oxycephaly, trigonocephaly, brachycephaly, plagiocephaly) and faciocraniosynostosis, with facial retrusion (Crouzon, Apert, Pfeiffer, and Saethre-Chozten syndromes). Facial and monobloc distraction is often used for these patients. Another group of craniofacial anomalies is represented by facial clefts with hyper-telorism, nasal anomalies, palpebral colobomata, encephaloceles, and Treacher-Collins syndrome. Many of these syndromes require complex orbital surgeries, for orbital dystopia. For example, bringing the orbits together in hypertelorism (widely-spaced orbits) requires complete orbital mobilization, such as in transcranial or subcranial facial bipartition.

Head Shape Info Resources Support the Site Craniosynostosis refers to the early (premature) fusion of the sutures of the bone of the skull. Premature fusing of the sutures restricts and distorts the growth of the skull. These cranial growth restrictions often results in increased cranial pressure growth which can cause vision problems and impede intellectual development. In addition, abnormal head shape is associated with low self-esteem and behavioral problems. Correction of these deformities can relieve cranial pressure and in the long-term, improve the child's self-esteem.

Extractions: Asher's Craniosynostosis home page Contents Asher's Story Asher Kenan was born in South Korea on April 7, 1995. He arrived in the United States that Labor Day and was placed into the arms of his adoptive family. We had read in his medical reports that his occipital area (the back of his head) was "flattened" and his foster mother had been instructed to position him on his sides when lying down. When he came, his face was absolutely adorable but when he turned sideways it was a startling sight. The back of his head was completely flat and seemed to end evenly with the back of his neck. Later that day we also discovered that he had no soft spot and that his skull seemed to be bulging out over the top of his ears. Still, we believe it was all due to the Korean practice of sleeping babies on their backs and that, in time, his head shape would normalize. Four days after his arrival, we took Asher for a check up with our family doctor. I couldnt help but notice the doctors worried look when he saw us in the hall. The doctor carefully examined Asher and then told me, "I think he is a brachy baby. Well need a skull x-ray to be sure". I reluctantly consented but asked few questions believing that the doctor was simply culturally biased and that the condition was purely positional. Late that Friday night, the doctor called us at home. His fears were valid. Both of the lambdoid sutures in Ashers skull were fused. That was the first time I had ever heard the word "craniosynostosis".

CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS SYNDROMES June 24, 1993 Craniosynostosis arises from the premature closure of cranial suture lines, which leads to maldevelopment of the cranial cavity and other craniofacial features. It is a feature of a multitude of medical conditions. These can be grossly divided into those that are associated with syndromes and those that are not. The syndromes associated with craniosynostosis can be further broken down by etiology into those resulting from a monogenic, or Mendelian, mode of inheritance, from specific chromosomal defects, from environmental teratogens, and from other factors which are as yet unknown. The syndromes covered in this review are inherited in a monogenic fashion, and represent some of the more common syndromes. Apert's syndrome is characterized by irregular craniosynostosis, midfacial hypoplasia, and symmetric syndactyly of the hands and feet. The incidence is quoted at 1 in 115,000 births, although this may be an underestimate. Cases are usually sporadic mutations, although an autosomal dominant mode of transmission from affected parents has been shown.

Summary Preoperative Postoperative 3-D scan of Sagittal Synostosis. The surgical treatment of craniosynostosis has been transformed by the development and applications of craniofacial techniques to reshape the skull and upper face in the infant. Functionally, the goal in treatment is to release the fused sutures to prevent any problems associated with increased intracranial pressure as well as creating the potential for normal growth. Cosmetically, the goal is to obtain normal shape of the skull and face, thus minimizing psychosocial problems. Etiology: While the pattern of embryonic craniofacial development has been well defined through extensive research, very little is known about the etiology of many craniofacial anomalies. There is strong evidence for a genetic role in the occurrence of some craniosynostosis. An inherited tendency or family history has been reported in many cases in the literature, however, most cases of isolated craniosynostosis are usually sporadic in occurrence with no known etiology.

The diagnosis of Muenke syndrome is based on identification of a disease-causing mutation in the gene.

Such testing is available clinically for all six disorders.

http://www.hopeforkids.com/body_craniosynostosis.html

Extractions: A child's brain undergoes rapid growth in the first year of life. To allow for this rapid expansion, the skull is made up of a number of bones rather than a single bone. They are separated by structures called sutures (expansion joints) that allow the brain to grow without being restricted. Craniosynostosis occurs when the sutures either fuse or are unable to expand. Craniosynostosis not only affects the shape of the skull but the appearance of the face. Depending on which sutures fail to expand, the head can be long and narrow or short and wide. In some cases, one eye may appear larger than the other. If the brain cannot expand properly, it can cause increased pressure which can affect mental development. Since the recommendation that infants sleep on their backs to prevent "SIDS" (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), we have seen an increase in skull deformity related to this positioning. This is not caused by bony fusion and can usually be treated without surgery, often with molding head bands. True craniosynostosis (bony fusion) requires surgical correction by a craniofacial team. If you suspect that your child may have one of these conditions, contact a qualified specialist to correctly diagnose and treat his or her problem.

Extractions: As a parent, it is important to understand your child's condition as completely as possible. In fact, it is reasonable to question what children's plastic surgery is all about. Pediatric plastic surgery is a medical specialty which aims to correct a child's physical deformity and restore a more normal appearance. As a discipline, this field covers a complex range of conditions. We treat children with birth defects (congenital defects) of the head, face, hands, feet, and other areas: traumatic injuries (accidents, burns); skin and superficial tumors (benign and malignant), and other problems. Some of the most common specific conditions that we see and treat are cleft lip and cleft palate craniosynostosis (abnormal head shape), jaw deformities

Extractions: Craniosynostosis is caused by the premature closing of one or more of the sutures of the bones which make up the skull. Usually, CT scans are taken to determine if the abnormal skull shape is craniosynostosis, rather that just a result of fetal head position or birth trauma. There are four types of craniosynostosis:
