    Extractions: In June of 1999 our son was diagnosed with Craniosynostosis, a condition that caused the sutures of his skull to prematurely fuse together. After the diagnosis I turned to the internet to educate myself about this condition and learn what type of treatment is needed to correct it. My son had surgery in December of 1999. He is doing very well and my wife and I can put the whole ordeal behind us. I wanted to put a web page together about Craniosynostosis in the hope that if others in the same situation come across it, it will provide them with some of the same information that helped us. As of October, 2002, things are going very well. His yearly checkups have been great and he seems to be developing like any other 3 1/2 year old boy. Craniosynostosis (CRAY-nee-o-SIN-os-Toe-sis): A baby's skull cap is made up of five bones held together by fibrous material called sutures. Craniosynostosis, or closure of these sutures, occurs when the bones in your baby's skull fuse together before the brain has stopped growing. This condition is also referred to by the older term cranial stenosis.

    Extractions: What is craniosynostosis? Craniosynostosis is a term that refers to the early fusing of one or more of the sutures in the skull during fetal development. The skull is composed of multiple bones that are separated by sutures or openings. If any of these sutures fuse prematurely, the skull will expand in the direction of the open sutures resulting in an abnormal head shape. Premature closure of a single suture can be caused by space constraints in utero. This is seen with twins more often than with a single fetus. Single suture closure is usually not associated with a syndrome and not genetic in nature. Premature closure of multiple sutures, including facial sutures, are seen in individuals with a craniosynostosis syndrome. The most common craniosynostosis syndromes are Crouzon, Pfeiffer and Apert. In these syndromes, several sutures in the head are fused resulting in abnormal skull shapes. Bones in the face also are fused, resulting in a flat midface and protruding eyes. Children with Apert syndrome also have syndactyly (webbing) of the hands and feet.

Craniosynostosis is often ruled out using lateral head x-rays and/or CAT scans. However, in the absence of radiographic images, certain external visual cues generally distinguish positional plagiocephaly from

Online Resources Craniosynostosis The normal skull consists of several plates of bone that are separated by sutures. The sutures (fibrous joints) are found between the bony plates in the head. As the infant grows and develops, the sutures close, forming a solid piece of bone, called the skull. Craniosynostosis is a condition in which the sutures close too early, causing problems with normal brain and skull growth. Premature closure of the sutures may also cause the pressure inside of the head to increase and the skull or facial bones to change from a normal, symmetrical appearance.

    Extractions: Home Page Craniosynostosis A child's skull grows very rapidly during the first two years of life. Premature fusion or interruption of growth along one of the growth centers in the skull can result in severe cranial deformities. A child who is progressing with asymmetry or an abnormal formation of the cranium may need to have suture release and frontal bone advancement performed to allow the head to grow normally. Surgery to correct craniosynostosis is best performed within the first three to six months of life. This enables us to take advantage of the natural pattern of skull growth in the child's first two years of life. If not treated at an early age, the severity of these deformities increases, which inhibits function and requires increasingly more extensive reconstructive surgery. Return to Indications

The disorder results in an abnormality of the shape of the skull. The condition may be familial; a result of a chromosomal or genetic abnormality; or it may occur sporadically, with no other affected relatives. Some cases are associated with disorders such as microcephaly (abnormally small head) and hydrocephalus (excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain). The first sign is an abnormal head shape. Other symptoms, which include increased intracranial pressure, developmental delay, and mental retardation, may be caused by constriction of the growing brain. Seizures and blindness may also occur.

    Extractions: Other conditions in which craniofacial anomalies may occur: Apert's Syndrome - The head usually appears short in the front and back and may be pointed at the top. Other characteristics may include webbed fingers and toes, widely spaced and protruding eyes, and dental crowding. Carpenter Syndrome - This syndrome typically includes traits such as abnormally short fingers, webbed toes, extra toes, underdeveloped jaw, highly arched palate, widely spaced eyes, and/or low-set, deformed ears. Half of patients with Carpenter syndrome also have heart defects. Cleft Palate / Cleft Lip - The incomplete closure of the lip and/or the roof of the mouth results in this defect. Crouzon's Syndrome - Characterized by abnormalities in the skull and facial bones, this syndrome often causes the skull to be short in the front and the back. Flat cheek bones and a flat nose are also typical of this disorder. Pfeiffer Syndrome - This rare disorder is characterized by abnormalities of the skull, hands, and feet. Saethe-Chotzen - An unusually short or broad head is usually an indicator of this disorder. In addition, the eyes may be spaced wide apart and have droopy eyelids, and fingers may be abnormally short and webbed.

    Extractions: Craniosynostosis is a congenital birth defect that occurs when the skull sutures close prematurely in early infancy. The result is an abnormal head shape. Normally, the bones in the skull are held together with sutures (fibrous joints) which allow the head to expand as it grows. When those sutures close prematurely, the resistance to growth causes the skull to grow improperly to accommodate the growing brain. Craniosynostosis may also affect growth of the facial bones, ears, and forehead.
