Craniosynostosis: Understanding the Misshaped Head. Radiographics.

Investigación y Educación

Abstract Craniosynostosis is defined as the premature closure of one or more cranial sutures, which alters the configuration of the child’s head (Figure). The morbidity and mortality are related to intracranial hypertension, hydrocephalus, Chiari 1 deformity, upper airway obstructions, and developmental delay, especially in syndromic cases. Eighty-five percent of cases are nonsyndromic, and of these, 75% are single-suture synostoses and nearly 60% of those are sagittal synostosis. Sagittal synostosis (scaphocephaly) typically spares the skull base. It manifests with frontal and occipital prominence, a narrow and elongated skull, a flat vertex, and ridging of the suture.
