Tag: Craniosynostosis Guides
Craniosynostosis is a condition where one or more of the bones in a child’s skull fuse too early, before the brain has fully developed. Surgery is usually recommended to correct the head shape, relieve pressure on the brain (if present), and support normal growth and development.
Most children diagnosed with craniosynostosis undergo surgery in infancy, or while they are a toddler. Knowing when and how to tell your child about their diagnosis will depend on each child and family. Every child is different.
