Can you tell me about craniosynostosis ?

Unlikely: The prematurely closed suture closes one of 17 growth centers that allow the skull to enlarge in proportion to brain growth.The un-closed sutures allow the growth, but force the skull into distorted shape.If you don't fix it, the skull will be deformed. There are some newer minimal intervention approaches that can help the mild cases. Check into all methods but the earlier the repair the better.

Craniosynostosis: The baby's skull is a collection of bones held in position by "sutures" - if one or more of these sutures should close prematurely, that is before birth, the child will have craniosynososis. There are several different types depending on which suture(s) have closed.

Craniosynostosis: Craniosynostosis present at birth consists of premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures, often resulting in an abnormal head shape, representing the most frequent craniofacial anomaly. It may result from a primary defect of ossification or, more commonly, from a secondary failure of brain growth. Simple craniosynostosis is a term used when only one suture fuses prematurely. Complex or compound craniosynostosis is used to describe premature fusion of multiple sutures. When children with craniosynostosis, usually complex, also display other body deformities, this is termed syndromic craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis limits growth of the skull in a direction perpendicular to the suture, while growth may continue in other directions.
