synostosis/headache

OBJECTIVE Occurrence of secondary coronal synostosis (SCS) and its functional consequences were retrospectively analyzed in sagittal synostosis. METHODS Occurrence of SCS and/or fingerprinting and clinical signs of raised intracranial pressure were investigated in children with scaphocephaly with a

BACKGROUND Sagittal synostosis is the most common non-syndromic single suture craniosynostosis. Different techniques of surgical correction, including extended strip craniectomy (ESC), have been used to treat this condition. The aim of this study is to evaluate radiologic changes and rate of

OBJECTIVE The significance of beaten copper appearance (BCA) on skull radiographs in children following surgery for isolated sagittal craniosynostosis has not been studied. This study was designed to look for any correlation between BCA and symptoms suggestive of intracranial hypertension in this

BACKGROUND Surgery for sagittal synostosis aims at correction of skull shape and restoration of growth potential. Small cranial volume is associated with raised intracranial pressure (ICP). Although many techniques have been described, information on postoperative volume related to early and late

We evaluated 27 children who had been operated on 5-10 years previously for sagittal synostosis. The mean age at operation was 0.55 years. Twenty-two children were treated by the senior author's technique, 4 by the Pi craniectomy technique and 1 by parasagittal sagittal strip craniectomies. The mean

OBJECT Various techniques to correct sagittal synostosis have been described. The authors of this study assess the results of 2 techniques for late complete cranial remodeling and test the hypothesis that adding a widening bridge would improve outcome. METHODS In this retrospective study, the

A unique single suture craniosynostosis case from the 9(th) century is presented in this paper. Although craniosynostosis is a fairly common pediatric anomaly nowadays, its occurrence in archaeological collections is an uncommon precedent. Since the diagnosis and treatment of premature cranial

An algorithm for the management of sagittal synostosis in older children who underwent delayed cranial vault reconstruction is presented. This algorithm tailors the surgical approach to the specific craniofacial deformity present in each case. The scaphocephalic deformity characteristic of sagittal

The mainstay of treatment for single-suture cranial synostosis is cranial vault reconstruction. After primary cranial vault remodeling, patients are at risk for cranial restenosis and delayed intracranial hypertension, which may result in developmental delay or blindness. Synostosis patients are

Craniocerebral disproportion is rarely considered as a cause for chronic, debilitating headache in adults. Children reported with this disorder typically suffer from headaches and lethargy for many years and have multisutural synostosis. The terms craniocerebral disproportion, craniostenosis, and

From 1973 to 1986, 50 infants with sagittal synostosis have been operated by three different methods of craniectomy (linear craniectomy and extended craniectomies, as proposed by Schut and Epstein et al.). Preoperatively, the mean cephalic index was 67 +/- 4, 35.5% had clinical findings as cerebral

The authors present an unusual case in which increased intracranial pressure developed because of multiple-suture craniosynostosis and megaloencephaly in a child with a previously undiagnosed lysosomal storage disease, alpha-D-mannosidase deficiency. This 3-year-old boy presented with a history of
