Craniosynostosis in a South Africa population
Background: Craniosynostosis refers to the premature fusion of calvarial bones which lead to restricted growth potential. Compensatory growth occurs in the dimensions not restricted by fusion and causes progressive distortion in the skull shape. The majority of craniosynostosis cases occur in …

Neuropsychological profiles of children and adolescents with craniosynostosis
Craniosynostosis refers to the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures, and typically occurs in utero. The major craniofacial disorders that feature craniosynostosis are the syndromic craniosynostoses, in which raniosynostosis occurs within a broader symptom complex (e.g. cardiac, …

Risk for Developmental Delay in Non-Syndromic Craniosynostosis
<p>Non-syndromic craniosynostosis is a craniofacial condition where there is a premature fusion of a calvarial suture. There are four subtypes of craniosynostosis, each one reflecting the suture that is fused (metopic, sagittal, coronal synostosis, and lambdoid synostosis). Research suggests that …

Spring Mediated Cranioplasty for the Treatment of Craniosynostosis
Craniosynostosis is a disorder characterized by the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures in the infant skull, resulting in an abnormal shape of the cranium. An effective surgical procedure for treatment of this disorder has been developed and is currently use called "Dynamic Spring …

Evaluation System for Craniosynostosis Surgeries with Computer Simulation and Statistical Modelling
Craniosynostosis is a pathology in infants when one or more sutures prematurely closed, leading to abnormal skull shape. It has been classified according to the specific suture that has been closed, each of which has a typical skull shape. Surgery is the common treatment to correct the deformed …

Efficacy of Genetic Testing Methodologies for Prenatal Detection of Skeletal Anomalies and Craniosynostosis Syndromes
… suspected to have skeletal dysplasia and craniosynostosis syndromes. This multi-center retrospective chart review looked at patients over a ten-year period and analyzed which genetic testing was ordered prenatally. Postnatal diagnoses were included if available. Genetic testing provided a …

Plagiocephaly: Developmental and Medical Outcomes
… the cranial sutures, a condition referred to as craniosynostosis. While children with craniosynostosis may be considered for developmental screening to determine whether they fall at risk for developmental delay, children with plagiocephaly are typically not seen as being at risk, their condition …

Behavior Patterns among Children with a History of Metopic Synostosis
… years), (2) children who had a history of simple craniosynostosis not involving the metopic suture (M= 7.54 years, SD = 1.88 years), and (3) a group of children diagnosed with ADHD (M=7.78 year, SD = 1.87 years). It was found using the Home and School versions of the Attention Deficit Disorders …

Nonsyndromale Kraniosynostose : Einfluß des Operationszeitpunktes auf die Entwicklung
Die nonsyndromale Kraniosynostose ist definiert als eine vorzeitige Verknöcherung von einer oder mehreren Schädelnähten. Für das Auftreten dieses Krankheitsbildes werden verschiedene Risikofaktoren in der Literatur beschrieben. Aufgrund der Schädeldeformation und wegen drohender Komplikationen …

Röntgenologische Analyse des Viszero- und Neurokraniums von Kindern mit prämaturen Kraniosynostosen nach der Delaire-Methode
Delaire (1978) stellt in seiner kraniofazialen Analysemethode die Balance des neuro- und viszerokranialen Schädels in den Mittelpunkt. Er mißt der Ausgewogenheit der Proportionen eine zentrale Bedeutung bei der Beurteilung viszero- und neurokranialer Strukturen zu. In dieser Arbeit konnte ein …

Intrakranielle Volumenbestimmung bei Kindern mit isolierten und syndromalen prämaturen Kraniosynostosen anhand von Schädel-Computertomogrammen
Innerhalb dieser Arbeit steht die Berechnung des prä-, peri- und teilweise postoperativen intrakraniellen Volumens bei Kindern mit isolierten und syndromalen prämaturen Kraniosynostosen anhand von Schädelcomputertomogrammen im Vordergrund. Die einzelnen Diagnosegruppen beinhalten die isolierten …
