Management of craniosynostoses

Child's Nervous System, 2000
Although it is currently thought that surgery is indicated mainly for cosmetic reasons in isolated craniosynostoses, the functional aspects of the treatment must not be underestimated. Prospective studies on intracranial pressure and mental evolution of these children have shown that there were functional consequences in a significant proportion of ...

Craniosynostoses

2019
Abstract This chapter reviews background information about the incidence, risk factors, genetics, recurrence risk, and epidemiology of single suture and multiple suture craniosynostosis including isolated and syndromic varieties. The discussion on the differential diagnosis of craniosynostosis summarizes its common causes, including ...

Craniosynostoses: Phenotypic/molecular correlations

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1995
From the discovery of the first known human homeobox mutation in MSX2 for craniosynostosis of the Boston type by Jams to the recent report of 2 mutations in FGFR2 in Apert syndrome by Wilkie, it is clear that the molecular aspects of syndromes with craniosynostosis are becoming known at a dizzying pace. Four of the syndromes involve mutations in FGFR2.

Genetic causes of syndromic craniosynostoses

European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2013
Syndromic craniosynostose exhibit variable clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Many of this disorders are caused by mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor genes: FGFR2, FGFR3 (encoding fibroblast growth factor receptors), TWIST1 (functions as an upstream regulator of FGFRs) and EFNB1 (gene encoding fibrillin1).

Visual Surveillance in Craniosynostoses

American Orthoptic Journal, 2014
Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures that may be isolated or syndromic. These children can have multiple developmental issues including speech, hearing, and vision, in addition to the aesthetic issue of an abnormally shaped skull and midfacial hypoplasia. As the aesthetic outcomes of craniofacial surgery have improved,

External craniofacial osteodistraction in complex craniosynostoses

Child's Nervous System, 2012
The use of distraction osteogenesis is the first option in the treatment of craniofacial hypoplasia. Both internal craniofacial distractor devices (ICDD) and external craniofacial distractor devices (ECDD) can improve visual and respiratory functions in patients with craniofacial synostosis significantly.

Remarks on the Surgical Treatment of the Craniosynostoses

min - Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, 1975
Technical aspects and results of a surgical procedure for craniosynostoses are exposed. Fragmentation-recomposition of the anterior part of the cranial vault in cases of brachi-, acro-, turri- and trigono-cephaly gives both an effective decompression and a satisfactory cosmetic result.
