Cranial Disorders
Cranial disorders refer to a range of medical conditions that affect the skull and brain. These disorders can result from genetic factors, injuries, infections, or developmental issues. Common examples include craniosynostosis, where the skull bones fuse too early, and traumatic brain injury, which can occur from accidents or falls.
Symptoms of cranial disorders may vary widely, including headaches, seizures, or cognitive difficulties. Diagnosis often involves imaging techniques like CT scans or MRI to assess the structure of the skull and brain. Treatment options depend on the specific disorder and may include surgery, medication, or therapy.
