Extractions: The Craniosynostosis Division of the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery At the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at the NYU Medical Center, patients with Craniosynostosis are evaluated and treated by a multidisciplinary team emphasizing comprehensive care beginning at birth and continuing until the completion of facial growth. The team consists of specialists from Plastic Surgery, Dermatology, Genetics, Neurosurgery, Nursing, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Orthodontics, Prosthodontics, Pediatrics, psychology and Speech Pathology. What is Craniosynostosis? Diagram Showing the Cranial Sutures The seven bones that compose the skull of a newborn are separated by soft spots called sutures. In the front of the skull these sutures intersect in the fontanelle, which is the large soft spot located above the baby's forehead. Craniosynostosis is a term that describes premature or earty closure of one or more of these sutures. The deformity which results depends on which suture(s) is involved. The cause of this condition is not known. Some of the craniosynostosis conditions can be inherited or passed between generations of families. Consequently, it is important that all affected children have a genetics evaluation.

Extractions: 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. What causes craniosynostosis? Autosomal recessive means that two copies of the gene are necessary to express the condition, one inherited from each parent, who are obligate carriers. Carrier parents have a one in four, or 25 percent, chance with each pregnancy, to have a child with craniosynostosis. Males and females are equally affected.
