Craniosynostosis Craniosynostosis is a term that refers to the early closing of one or more of the sutures of an infant's head. The skull is normally composed of bones which are separated by sutures. This diagram shows the different sutures which can be involved. As an infant's brain grows, open sutures allow the skull to expand and develop a relatively normal head shape. If one or more of the sutures has closed early, it causes the skull to expand in the direction of the open sutures. This can result in an abnormal head shape. In severe cases, this condition can also cause increased pressure on the growing brain. Types of Craniosynostosis In sagittal synostosis (scaphocephaly), the sagittal suture is closed. As a result, the infant's head does not expand in width but grows long and narrow to accommodate the growing brain. The sagittal suture is the most common single suture involved in craniosynostosis. The incidence of sagittal synostosis in the population is approximately 1 in 4200 births. Males are affected about three times as often as females.

Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Craniosynostosis? Craniosynostosis is a birth defect of the brain characterized by the premature closure of one or more of the fibrous joints between the bones of the skull (called the cranial sutures ) before brain growth is complete. Closure of a single suture is most common. The abnormally shaped skull that results is due to the brain not being able to grow in its natural shape because of the closure. Instead it compensates with growth in areas of the skull where the cranial sutures have not yet closed. The condition can be gene-linked, or caused by metabolic diseases, such as rickets or an overactive thyroid. Some cases are associated with other disorders such as microcephaly (abnormally small head) and hydrocephalus (excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain). The first sign of craniosynostosis is an abnormally shaped skull. Other features can include signs of increased intracranial pressure, developmental delays, or mental retardation, which are caused by constriction of the growing brain. Seizures and blindness may also occur.

CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS What is craniofacial surgery? Craniofacial surgery is a surgical subspecialty developed by Paul Tessier thirty years ago in France. It involves surgery of the skull and face for tumors, trauma, and congenital deformities. For many years, the severity of these conditions was thought too risky for surgical intervention. Tessier, a surgeon himself, challenged this belief and began building the foundation of craniofacial surgery. In doing so, he recognized that this complex form of surgery could only be performed by a specially trained surgeon who was supported by a highly skilled team. The surgical team at Hermann Children's Hospital includes a pediatric neurosurgeon and craniofacial surgeon as well as a specialized anesthesiologist. The neurosurgeon works on the skull and the craniofacial surgeon on the face. With both areas being closely related the combined approach offers the best possible results with the highest level of safety. What is craniosynostosis? Diagram of skull, showing location of fontanelles and sutures The skull of an infant is made up of free-floating bones separated by fibers called sutures. This arrangement allows the infant's head to pass through the birth canal and also enables the skull to grow with the brain in early infancy.

My big brother's name is Chuckiehe is four years old. I am already 5 months old (this big girl picture shows me at 3 months, right after my Christening). The doctor told my mommy that she better watch outI'm a strong girl! I have been rolling over onto my tummy for over a month, and can push up on one hand while reaching for a toy with the other. I can almost sit up by myself, but I still wobble. Daddy helps me to stand up, and I can stay there and dance a long time. I love playing with Mommy's hair and laughing when Daddy tickles me. Chuckie can make me laugh, too! He is a great brother and even lets me hold some of his toys (sometimes). This past week, I realized that sucking on my big toe is great fun! And I had Grandma hysterical playing the No-No game! What's All the Fuss? I took a long time to come into the world. Mommy was in labor for 50 hours, and pushed for 3+1/2 hours. After trying everything, the doctor helped deliver me by cesearan. We found out a few weeks later why. Mommy and Daddy had noticed a bump on my forehead after I was born, and it turned out to be something called craniosynostosis.

Devin's Craniosynostosis Page CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS Craniosynosotosis is the premature closing of one or more of the sutures in the skull. More specifically Devin was diagnosed with Sagittal Synostosis, which is the premature closing of the Sagittal Suture (the suture that runs front to back). Because it had fused prematurely his skull would not be able to grow properly. As the brain was developing his skull would only be able to grow where the sutures were open (the front and the back). Hence Devin's skull was growing in a boat shape - very long and narrow with a bossing forehead and back on the head. Sagittal Synostosis is the most common form and occurs in approx. 1 out of every 2000 births. There is debate as to the cause and the effects that it may have (is there pressure on the brain?), no one really knows for sure but what they do know is that it can have profound psychological effects on the individual (looking abnormal, teasing etc). And that's when we knew we had to do something, something to give Devin the best possible childhood and the best possible chance for a healthy and happy future. To us that meant proceeding with the surgery. Although we were given the choice, to us it hardly seemed like a choice, how could we opt not to have the surgery. I hope as Devin grows up he realizes that everything we did and all the choices we made for him are because we love him so much. When deciding we asked ourselves - At 10, 15 or 20 years old would Devin be happy with the choices we made for him? and the only answer we could come to was YES

Risk Factor Home Get an Adobe Acrobat version of this document. Important information about this document. BIRTH DEFECT RISK FACTOR SERIES: CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS Craniosynostosis is premature closure of any of the cranial sutures (sagittal, coronal, lambdoidal, metopic). It can affect one suture or multiple sutures. Craniosynostosis is associated with several syndromes; the most commonly reported ones are Crouzon's disease, Apert syndrome (Acrocephalosyndactyly Type I), Carpenter syndrome (Acrocephalosyndactyly Type II), Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (Acrocephalosyndactyly Type III), and Pfeiffer syndrome (Acrocephalosyndactyly Type IV). DEMOGRAPHIC AND REPRODUCTIVE Craniosynostosis risk appears to increase with increasing maternal age ( Kallen, 1999; Singer, 1999; Alderman, 1988), and with increasing paternal age (Singer, 1999; Alderman, 1988). One study reported a higher prevalence of craniosynostosis among non-blacks (Alderman, 1988). However, another investigation found no significant effect of race/ethnicity on craniosynostosis risk (Singer, 1999). Sex influences craniosynostosis risk. Most studies have reported higher craniosynostosis rates among males, particularly for sagittal and lambdoidal craniosynostosis (Lary, 2001; Kallen, 1999; Singer, 1999; Alderman, 1988). However, the coronal craniosynostosis rate seems higher among females (Kallen, 1999; Lajeunie, 1995).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS When is craniofacial surgery necessary? The surgery is necessary in an infant who has craniosynostosis when the bones of the skull fuse together, or a craniofacial syndrome which causes fusion of the bones of the head and also abnormalities of the skull and face. What is the ideal age at which a child should have surgery for craniosynostosis? Surgery should be done within the first two weeks of life on those infants born with multiple fused sutures involved. When any of the other sutures are involved, surgery is done prior to 3 months of age when a less invasive microscopic procedure can be employed. In older children, the standard approach is employed at 6 months of age. For fusion of the remaining sutures, surgery is done at six months. Will one operation be sufficient for craniosynostosis? Most children who have single suture involvement require only one surgical procedure. However, for those with multiple suture involvement and those with craniofacial abnormalities associated with the craniosynostosis, multiple procedures are necessary. What are the risks to the child in this type of surgery?

Management of anomalies of skull and face: craniostenosis, craniosynostosis, facial clefts, hypertelorism, Crouzon, Apert, tumors and trauma - Daniel Marchac, MD, Plastic Surgeon - Dominique Renier, MD, Pediatric Neurosurgeon - Eric Arnaud, MD, Plastic Surgeon and a pluridisciplinary team French version 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 hypertelorism, 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.
