The disorder results in an abnormal skull and head shape. Most cases are sporadic, although there are several genetic syndromes with Craniosynostosis. Disorders of the fibroblast growth factor receptor molecule have been recently found in some cases of hereditary Craniosynostosis. What Are The Symptoms of Craniosynostosis? Most children with Craniosynostosis do not have any symptoms; the head shape is abnormal, and the face may be malformed in certain cases. Rarely, symptoms of increased pressure in the head such as headaches, decreased appetite, vomiting, or even developmental delays or mental retardation may occur. How Does A Craniofacial Anomaly Occur? Five separate bones make up the cranium of the head: the occipital bone (back portion of the skull); two parietal bones (on either side of the skull); and two frontal bones (front portion of the skull). The bones, which are in place by the 5th month of gestation, are like pieces of a puzzle, and are initially separated by sutures (or fibrous joints). The skull bones, coupled with the sutures, form a protective shield for the brain. As the brain grows, the sutures allow the skull to expand rapidly. If for any reason one or more of the sutures closes too early, the skull grows in a different direction where the bones are not resisting growth, thereby resulting in skull deformities.

    Extractions: Asher's Craniosynostosis home page Contents Asher's Story Asher Kenan was born in South Korea on April 7, 1995. He arrived in the United States that Labor Day and was placed into the arms of his adoptive family. We had read in his medical reports that his occipital area (the back of his head) was "flattened" and his foster mother had been instructed to position him on his sides when lying down. When he came, his face was absolutely adorable but when he turned sideways it was a startling sight. The back of his head was completely flat and seemed to end evenly with the back of his neck. Later that day we also discovered that he had no soft spot and that his skull seemed to be bulging out over the top of his ears. Still, we believe it was all due to the Korean practice of sleeping babies on their backs and that, in time, his head shape would normalize. Four days after his arrival, we took Asher for a check up with our family doctor. I couldn’t help but notice the doctor’s worried look when he saw us in the hall. The doctor carefully examined Asher and then told me, "I think he is a brachy baby. We’ll need a skull x-ray to be sure". I reluctantly consented but asked few questions believing that the doctor was simply culturally biased and that the condition was purely positional. Late that Friday night, the doctor called us at home. His fears were valid. Both of the lambdoid sutures in Asher’s skull were fused. That was the first time I had ever heard the word "craniosynostosis".

    Extractions: Craniosynostosis is caused by the premature closing of one or more of the sutures of the bones which make up the skull. Usually, CT scans are taken to determine if the abnormal skull shape is craniosynostosis, rather that just a result of fetal head position or birth trauma. There are four types of craniosynostosis: Plagiocephaly is the premature fusion of one of the coronal sutures, which extend from ear to ear over the top of the head. Characteristics include: fusion of either the right or left side the forehead and brow look like they are pushed backwards the eye on the affected side has a different shape than the one on the unaffected side

    Extractions: View Printer Friendly Adult Onset Hydrocephalus Anatomy of the Brain ... Trigeminal Neuralgia Craniosynostosis and Craniofacial Disorders March, 1999 Craniosynostosis is a congenital deformity of the infant skull that results when the skull sutures (fibrous joints) between various skull bones fuse improperly. Skull growth is limited at the fused suture, and growth at the remaining sutures results in an abnormal shape to the infant skull. Craniosynostosis is usually apparent in infancy and is characterized by an abnormal but characteristic head shape, depending upon how many, and which, sutures are involved. In most cases, the problem is solely cosmetic and leads to an abnormal head shape; sometimes, the growth of the facial bones is affected as well. Rarely is the growth of the skull restricted enough to cause increased pressure in the head and lead to headaches, visual loss, or developmental delays. The severity of the deformity depends on which sutures close, the point in the development process that the closure occurred, and the success or failure of the other sutures to compensate by expansion.

CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS SYNDROMES June 24, 1993 Craniosynostosis arises from the premature closure of cranial suture lines, which leads to maldevelopment of the cranial cavity and other craniofacial features. It is a feature of a multitude of medical conditions. These can be grossly divided into those that are associated with syndromes and those that are not. The syndromes associated with craniosynostosis can be further broken down by etiology into those resulting from a monogenic, or Mendelian, mode of inheritance, from specific chromosomal defects, from environmental teratogens, and from other factors which are as yet unknown. The syndromes covered in this review are inherited in a monogenic fashion, and represent some of the more common syndromes. Apert's syndrome is characterized by irregular craniosynostosis, midfacial hypoplasia, and symmetric syndactyly of the hands and feet. The incidence is quoted at 1 in 115,000 births, although this may be an underestimate. Cases are usually sporadic mutations, although an autosomal dominant mode of transmission from affected parents has been shown.

    Extractions: Stanford, Lucile Packard Researchers Uncover Mystery Behind How Skull Plates Fuse Craniosynostosis The normal skull consists of several plates of bone that are separated by sutures. The sutures (fibrous joints) are found between the bony plates in the head. As the infant grows and develops, the sutures close, forming a solid piece of bone, called the skull. Craniosynostosis is a condition in which the sutures close too early, causing problems with normal brain and skull growth. Premature closure of the sutures may also cause the pressure inside of the head to increase and the skull or facial bones to change from a normal, symmetrical appearance. Craniosynostosis occurs in one out of 2,000 live births and affects males twice as often as females. Craniosynostosis is most often sporadic (occurs by chance). In some families, craniosynostosis is inherited in one of two ways: Autosomal recessive means that two copies of the gene are necessary to express the condition, one inherited from each parent, who are carriers. Carrier parents have a one in four, or 25 percent, chance with each pregnancy, to have a child with craniosynostosis. Males and females are equally affected.
