Craniosynostosis

Craniosynostosis is a rare and often underrecognised condition in which one or more of a baby’s skull plates fuse prematurely—typically before or shortly after birth—hindering normal skull and brain growth. The condition produces distinctive head shapes and may lead to elevated intracranial pressure or other complications if left untreated.
