Craniosynostosis is a condition where the bones of an infant’s skull fuse together too early. In most cases, surgery in the first year of life will effectively correct it and the child can go on to expect a typical life. For a minority, craniosynostosis is part of a syndrome, which is a lifelong condition. This practical guide explains how craniosynostosis develops and the evidence-based, best-practice treatments. It also includes the lived experience of families.
The writing of Craniosynostosis was led by Dr. Ruth Barta, MD, Craniofacial and Pediatric Plastic Surgeon at Gillette Children’s, a world-renowned center of excellence for the treatment of brain, bone, and movement conditions.
