Syndromic Craniosynostosis
Syndromic craniosynostosis is a condition where one or more of the sutures in a baby's skull close prematurely, affecting head shape and potentially brain development. This condition is often associated with genetic syndromes, such as Crouzon syndrome or Apert syndrome, which can lead to additional physical and developmental challenges.
Children with syndromic craniosynostosis may require surgical intervention to correct skull shape and allow for normal brain growth. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes and minimizing complications. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare team are essential for monitoring development and addressing any associated issues.
