A member asked:
Can adults with untreated craniocynostosis get surgery to help treat some of the deformaties?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Craniosynostosis is usually treated more readily in infants and young children. Mild adult craniosynostosis is able to be treated surgically. Severer forms of craniosynostosis may have more difficult procedures. A neurosurgeon must be consulted for alternatives and risks.
