Kleeblattschadel Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more sutures (the growth centers) of the skull. This problem occurs in infants and can lead to an abnormal head shape. The resulting shape of the skull is characteristic of and can be classified by the affected suture. Surgical correction is often necessary depending on the severity of the deformity. Most often this is performed by craniofacial surgeons. Scaphocephaly light boat or skiff) back to top This term describes a boat-shaped head which is associated with the early closure of the fontanelle (soft spot) and sagittal suture. This is the most common form of craniosynostosis. It is usually relatively benign condition in that intracranial pressure is usually in the normal range. Cranial surgery is usually recommended, however, to give a more normal appearance. Trigonocephaly

Classification Of Previously Unclassified Cases Of Craniosynostosis Of these, 1251 (85%) were nonsyndromic craniosynostoses and have been classifiedas scaphocephaly (592); trigonocephaly (172); plagiocephaly (190 http://www.neurosurgery.org/journals/online_j/dec96/1-6-p1.html
Extractions: Paul D. Chumas, F.R.C.S.(SN), Giuseppe Cinalli, M.D., Eric Arnaud, M.D., Daniel Marchac, M.D., and Dominique Renier, M.D. Cases of craniosynostosis usually fall into well-demarcated categories: those related to a syndrome or identified by a combination of suture involvement and morphological appearance. Between 1976 and 1995, 53 (3.6%) of 1474 cases in the craniofacial databank were assessed and designated as nonsyndromic but unclassifiable. The records and radiological studies obtained in these patients were retrospectively analyzed and comparisons were made with patients classified in the databank as having simple craniosynostoses. "Two-suture synostosis" is a relatively straightforward condition and is treatable with standard craniosynostosis techniques. However, possibly as a result of surgical compromise when two sutures are involved, the rate of reoperation is far higher than in simple suture cases. In contrast, patients in the "complex" group presenting with severe multisuture involvement require a more tailor-made approach to their management that often entails a second procedure. Key Words * craniosynostosis * complex disease * cranial suture The classification of craniosynostoses depends on a combination of criteria: 1) whether the sutural disease is part of a syndrome; 2) the morphological appearance of the patient; 3) the actual sutures involved; and 4) progression of the disease over time.[1] Using these criteria, it is possible to classify the vast majority of craniosynostoses. In a minority of cases the initial classification proves to be incorrect and other features indicating a more complex nature become apparent. It is thus necessary to have a sufficient follow-up period to be confident that the initial diagnosis still holds.

Extractions: PRINCIPLES OF TREATMENT OF MAIN CONDITIONS MANAGED Visible scars are avoided as far as possible. The main approach to the craniofacial skeleton is made through the hairy scalp. A long incision from ear to ear is performed, with a zigzag in the temporal region. This type of incision enables good exposure and usually remains practically invisible after closure. The hair is not shaved. An additional incision is sometimes performed at the eyelid level, with no scar if inside the eyelid, or a nearly invisible scar if in the skin of the eyelid. Sometimes, an opening is also made in the mucosa of the mouth, at the inner side of the lip.. In some severe cases of medial cleft and hypertelorism, an incision on the nose, to remove an excess of skin or repair a distortion, is necessary. Also, very exceptionally, the forehead, eyelids or cheeks have to be approached by direct incisions. Craniosynostosis - Frontocranial Remodeling

Extractions: Craniofacial Anomalies Before a child is born, the bones of the skull are not fused; this allows the bony plates of the skull to be more flexible, so the head can be molded during birth. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a child's head to pass through the birth canal. Craniosynostosis is a condition that occurs when the bone junctions, or sutures, fuse prematurely. When some of the skull bones fuse in the womb, it can affect the baby's head shape. Sometimes the growth of the brain can also be influenced, and will benefit from surgical release of the constricted bones. Some examples follow. Click here to read about one family's experience. Plagiocephaly (plagio=oblique + cephaly=head) This condition presents with a lop-sided or twisted appearance to the head, with one side of the forehead or posterior head pushing out farther than the other. It can be associated with premature closure of one or both of the coronal or lambdoid sutures, or may come as a result of pressure of the mother's pelvic bones on the skull ( positional plagiocephaly Scaphocephaly (scapho=boat, skiff + cephaly=head)

Research What Are Other Less Common Cephalic Disorders? ACEPHALY EXENCEPHALY is a condition in which the brain is located outside of the skull. This condition is usually found in embryos as an early stage of anencephaly. As an exencephalic pregnancy progresses, the neural tissue gradually degenerates. It is unusual to find an infant carried to term with this condition because the defect is incompatible with survival. MACROCEPHALY is a condition in which the head circumference is larger than average for the age and gender of the infant or child. It is a descriptive rather than a diagnostic term, and is a characteristic of a variety of disorders. Macrocephaly also may be inherited. Although one form of macrocephaly may be associated with mental retardation, in approximately one-half of cases mental development is normal. Macrocephaly may be caused by an enlarged brain or hydrocephalus. It may be associated with other disorders such as dwarfism, neurofibromatosis, and tuberous sclerosis. MICRENCEPHALY is a disorder characterized by a small brain and may be caused by a disturbance in the proliferation of nerve cells. Micrencephaly may also be associated with maternal problems such as alcoholism, diabetes, or rubella (German measles). A genetic factor may play a role in causing some cases of micrencephaly. Affected newborns generally have striking neurological defects and seizures. Severely impaired intellectual development is common, but disturbances in motor functions may not appear until later in life.

Craniosynostoses Fusion of the sagittal suture (which runs from front to back along the top of theskull) produces an elongated head, a deformity characterized as scaphocephaly http://www.craniofacial.org/craniosynostoses.htm
Extractions: PREMATURE FUSION OF CRANIAL SUTURES Cranial sutures represent structures where the bones of the skull join each other to form the cranial vault. During the first year of life, the thrust of the rapidly growing brain exerts a separative force in a direction perpendicular to the intervening suture, resulting in normal growth of the skull. When growth is complete, the sutures gradually become fused. Occasionally cranial sutures fuse prematurely. This pathological condition causes a variety of disturbances, ranging from a mild deformity of the shape of the head, to much more severe deformities and functional problems which are likely to affect the childs health and development. In synostosis of a single suture (although it is questionable that premature fusion of a single suture truly exists), growth is halted in the direction perpendicular to the suture involved. Because of this restriction, the continuing expansion of the brain pushes in a compensatory way other areas of the skull. A deformity develops which is specific of the obliteration of that particular suture. Premature fusion of one side of the coronal suture results in a deformity called plagiocephaly . On the side of the fusion the forehead is flat or even concave, and the orbit (the bones of the facial skeleton containing the eye) is displaced upwards. On the opposite side the forehead bulges abnormally. If this condition is not corrected early in life, the jaws may also become asymmetrical making surgical correction a much more complex undertaking.
