This forces the head to grow in a front to back direction, leading to a narrow elongated head. Help build the largest human-edited directory on the web.

Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: Background: Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of the cranial sutures. Craniosynostosis can occur as an isolated defect or as part of a syndrome. Craniosynostosis is called simple when only 1 suture is involved and compound when 2 or more sutures are involved. Pathophysiology: In the recent literature, mutations in genes coding for fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) in affected families have been reported. The receptors mediate the effects of the fibroblast growth factors that modulate cellular processes, such as growth, differentiation, migration, and survival. mutations, located on chromosome 7, have been recognized in Crouzon disease and Apert, Jackson-Weiss, and Pfeiffer syndromes. Some cases of Pfeiffer syndrome and Crouzon disease involve mutations in both the and genes. These mutations account for a small fraction of cases of craniosynostosis, because most cases have an unclear etiology. With the use of immunocytochemistry techniques, abnormal osteoblastic activity has been observed within the synostotic bone, along with decreased growth rate and alkaline phosphatase production. Histopathologic examinations of resected sutures demonstrate new bone formation at various stages. These stages range from trabecular interdigitation across the fibrous tissue to complete bony fusion.

Extractions: Also known as scaphocephaly or dolicocephaly , the sagittal suture closes early and restricts groth of the head in the side to side direction. This forces the head to grow in a front to back direction which leads to a narrow elongated head. Usually there is an associated fullness or "bossing" to the forehead.
Craniosynostosis What is sagittal synostosis? The sagittal suture runs from a spot at the frontof the head to the back of the scaphocephaly from sagittal synostosis http://www.pedisurg.com/PtEduc/Craniosynostosis.htm
Extractions: TEXAS PEDIATRIC SURGICAL ASSOCIATES CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS What is craniofacial surgery? Craniofacial surgery is a surgical subspecialty developed by Paul Tessier thirty years ago in France. It involves surgery of the skull and face for tumors, trauma, and congenital deformities. For many years, the severity of these conditions was thought too risky for surgical intervention. Tessier, a surgeon himself, challenged this belief and began building the foundation of craniofacial surgery. In doing so, he recognized that this complex form of surgery could only be performed by a specially trained surgeon who was supported by a highly skilled team. The surgical team at Hermann Children's Hospital includes a pediatric neurosurgeon and craniofacial surgeon as well as a specialized anesthesiologist. The neurosurgeon works on the skull and the craniofacial surgeon on the face. With both areas being closely related the combined approach offers the best possible results with the highest level of safety. What is craniosynostosis?
Craniosynostosis In sagittal synostosis (scaphocephaly), the sagittal suture is closed. The incidence of sagittal synostosis in the population is approximately 1 in 4200 http://www.kidsplastsurg.com/craniosynostosis.html
Extractions: As an infant's brain grows, open sutures allow the skull to expand and develop a relatively normal head shape. If one or more of the sutures has closed early, it causes the skull to expand in the direction of the open sutures. This can result in an abnormal head shape. In severe cases, this condition can also cause increased pressure on the growing brain. In sagittal synostosis (scaphocephaly), the sagittal suture is closed. As a result, the infant's head does not expand in width but grows long and narrow to accommodate the growing brain. The sagittal suture is the most common single suture involved in craniosynostosis. The incidence of sagittal synostosis in the population is approximately 1 in 4200 births. Males are affected about three times as often as females.

Extractions: Movable Type 2.64 by Victoria Patterson May 28, 1998 Today, Cole and I tried to visit my grandma in the ICU. Grandma has a breathing tube, and she is hooked up to morphine. Cole was born right about the same time she started her treatment. I don't know whether it's the cancer or the treatment that is killing her. Her death and Cole's birth are going to be linked. She smiles when Cole is with her, even when she can't move. Cole and I were waiting in the hallway near a drinking fountain when a trio of pediatric nurses stopped abruptly to admire him. Cole is only four months old. He gets attention because of his red hair. One of the nurses asked if she could feel his head. She looked concerned. She held him gingerly and smoothed her hand over his head. I felt panicked watching the nurse with Cole, like how I felt when my friend's nine-year-old daughter fell from the swinging bars at the park. There was nothing I could do to stop her fall, even though I yelled out her name. The nurse said, "I don't mean to alarm you but I think there's something wrong with his head. You need to talk to your pediatrician right away." She handed Cole to me.
Extractions: Treatment of Craniosynostosis: A Team Approach With the newer endoscopic techniques, the earlier the surgery, the better the outcome. We recommend immediate referral for any patient with a serious head deformity secondary to craniosynostosis to determine if the patient qualifies for the endoscope or minimally invasive approach. Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Craniofacial Surgery endoscopes Before (Pre-Op) After Endoscopic Correction Minimally invasive, endoscopically assisted strip craniectomy has been successful for early treatment of craniosynostosis. Physicians have reported excellent results for patients with sagittal synostosis when they use an endoscopic technique and combined strip synostectomy with postoperative helmet molding. By operating as early as possible, our group along with others have produced comparable results to standard cranial vault reshaping with less blood loss, shorter operating times and earlier discharge from the hospital.

Background: Numerous publications have examined technique-specific results in treating sagittal synostosis, but there is scant data examining long-term outcomes. This retrospective study was designed to evaluate a large series of surgically repaired children with sagittal craniosynostosis and to examine long-term cranial growth following correction. Methods: From 1990 to 2003, 132 children with sagittal synostosis were evaluated and 89 surgically treated (single-staged posterior remodeling) patients were retrospectively reviewed (43 excluded for multi-sutural involvement, incomplete records, or non-surgical treatment). The surgical technique did not vary per the age of the patient, and the correction resulted in an intact calvaria with no skull defects left unfilled. Long-term growth was assessed from anthropologic measurements taken from 3 - 11 years postoperatively (mean = 4.7 years). Results: Conclusions: In this series of patients, treated for scaphocephaly resulting from sagittal craniosynostosis, posterior remodeling resulted in normalization of the cephalic index without the need for a secondary procedure. This study demonstrated abnormal skull growth following surgical correction, with a tendency for the calvaria to revert towards scaphocephaly. Based on these findings, surgeons treating sagittal synostosis may wish to expand their goals of treatment beyond normalization, to an over-correction of the abnormal skull shape.
