MRI imaging is indicated, and CT should be performed only when necessary to avoid early radiation exposure.
Craniosynostosis has a variable presentation depending on the site of premature closure. Premature sagittal suture closure is most common, followed by metopic or coronal insults. Lambdoid craniosynostosis is considerably rare, occurring in 5% or fewer cases [74, 80]. Various areas of early fusion and resulting deformities are illustrated in the images in Figs.
10, 11, 12 and 13 [81]:

Patients presenting with syndromic craniosynostosis require a more flexible approach to reconstruction, depending on the coexisting defects and their relative urgency. Similar surgical reconstruction timeline is indicated with syndromic and non-syndromic synostosis, barring any patient-specific variations. The presence of facial microsomia (maxillary or midfacial hypoplasias), hypertelorism (overly projected interocular structures), ear displacement, and/or beaked nose are a few common syndromic symptoms to be aware of when assessing patients [8286].
The Glasglow protocol indicates repair of metopic, unicoronal, and bicoronal synostosis at 10–14months, using fronto-orbital advancement (unilateral or bilateral) and anterior remodeling. Bicoronal synostosis may additionally be repaired with posterior vault distraction (also known as helmet therapy), which involves external stabilization of the internal osseous structures and continuous externally applied forces which maintain adequate space between the bones as they grow normally. Sagittal synostosis can be corrected earlier (5–7months) with total vault remodeling, and reconstruction is recommended before 6months whenever possible [81, 87]. It should be noted that surgical repair is contraindicated

for patients younger than 3months of age due to the anesthesiologic­associated risks.
4.3 Surgical Techniques
Prior to surgery, it is recommended to take additional precautions with infants and younger children due to their increased risk of blood loss and lower capacity for thermoregulation. Infants are usually indicated for blood transfusion if a lengthy operating time is estimated, and arterial and venous lines are placed, in addition to bladder catheterization and internal temperature monitoring. Prophylactic antibiotics and steroids are administered as indicated. Additional caution is taken to protect the eyes, usually with ophthalmic ointment and clear plastic dressings or corneal shields. Tarsorrhaphy sutures are placed, if necessary, as an alternative protective measure. The scalp is prepared preoperatively with hair removal at the incision site (shaving) and the skin on the face and scalp is cleaned with povodione-iodine and antiseptic scrub solution [8890].
Except for occipital deformities, most synostosis reconstruction maneuvers allow the patient to remain supine throughout the procedure. Diluted vasoconstricting agents (preferably 1:200,000 or 1:400,000 epinephrine) are injected prior to incision to minimize blood loss and improve visibility. The use of tranexamic and aminocaproic acid as antifibrinolytics are well utilized in the maintenance of blood clotting and are shown to be effective in reducing blood loss during craniosynostosis repair [8890].
Previously described techniques for correction of craniosynostosis include suturectomy (removal of bony sutures) with additional morselization of incised bone for pansynostosis. However, these approaches are relatively outdated and do not provide patients with permanent correction [91, 92]. Endoscopic techniques have been documented in the literature and are shown to be well utilized in the repair of craniosynostosis [9395]. With the endoscopic approach, orthotic molding is used to maintain the distance between separated cranial bones via tension from an external helmet (scaffold) on internally fastened pins. Interested readers are encouraged to investigate the surgical techniques used in endoscopic repair using the articles cited here [96, 97].
It is important to note that younger patients (3–4months of age) are the ideal candidates for endoscopic repair, and it is mainly performed for
https://t.me/medicina_free
individuals less than 6months of age [98, 99]. Patients older than 6months are indicated for open cranial vault reconstruction. Open surgical techniques for the common craniosynostosis malformations are described below.
Individuals presenting with trigonocephaly, bradycephaly, and anterior plagiocephaly are all affected by excessive anterior constriction caused by premature fusion of metopic and/or coronal sutures. This anterior constriction is repaired using the same concepts with open reconstruction of all three variations. These are detailed in the bullet points below, for ease of comparison with scaphocephaly repair discussed next [82, 100]:
Bicoronal incisions are made well into the hair-bearing scalp through which the cutaneous tissues are dissected from underlying bone. The dissection should be discontinued just before the superior orbit. Bur holes drilled along preplanned markings are made to allow for osteotomy access. The frontal bone is removed completely, along with the anomalous suture, using an osteotome or Piezotome. Frontal bandeau is removed with direct visualization through the superior orbit, and removal should be performed using cuts in an outward direction from the anterior cranial fossa. The cranial bones are remodeled as necessary and secured in the new position, using polydioxanone or dissolvable plates.
Patients who present with scaphocephaly tend to have an elongated cranial shape and lateral constriction, secondary to premature fusion of the longitudinal sagittal suture. This anomaly requires a different surgical approach, which is detailed in the bullet points below [82, 100]:
A midcranial incision is made within the hairline to the calvarium, through which the soft tissues are dissected to the eyebrows anteriorly and occipital base posteriorly. Excess posterior occipital bone is removed, and the remaining osseous tissues are sliced centrifugally into rectangular segments (barrel staving) from the open occipital calvarium. Fused sagittal sutures are removed with osteotomy, and longitudinal barrel staving is performed as far anteriorly as possible into the parietal bone. The occipital bone is secured in place, and the patient is repositioned in the supine direction for frontal remodeling.

Once supine, the anterior portion of fused sagittal suture is removed, and barrel staving will be completed from the anterior aspect. The frontal bone is secured in place, at which point any bony gaps can be filled in as needed with polydioxanone or dissolvable plates.
4.4 Complications and Outcomes
When repair is not initiated, untreated craniosynostosis can restrict brain development, which results in increased intracranial pressure (ICP), developmental delays, and tissue damage. Generally, individuals with sagittal synostosis have a lower risk of intellectual disability compared with other synostoses (metopic, unicoronal, lambdoid). Additional consideration should be placed on education accessibility and symptom management in these cases [75, 99].
The endoscopic approach greatly reduces the risk of bleeding and hematoma formation when compared to open techniques. Overall, the most common surgical complication is postoperative hyperthermia, although there are additional risks of seizures, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and severe infection (meningitis). Careful technique is important to avoid aggressive movement and vascular damage, and it is especially important to prepare for blood transfusion with such a young patient [74, 75].
Long term follow-up is required for patients with syndromic craniosynostosis, as they may require multiple operations in the future to maintain the reconstructed calvarium [75]. Aside from these complications, this procedure is relatively successful and may be the only required therapy in some cases. It should be noted that this does not usually apply to syndromic cases, which frequently require additional treatments for associated malformations.
The long-term aesthetic defects of craniosynostosis are well published in the literature, with patients experiencing treatment-related scarring, facial asymmetry, and atypical head shape. These aesthetic impacts are often more severe in syndromic cases. Patients are described to have a less pleasing appearance, and this has been associated with reported social difficulties in romantic relationships through adulthood [101].
Despite the previously mentioned psychosocial impact, craniosynostosis patients do not express more severe depressive symptoms when compared to their unaffected counterparts. Additional exploration indicates a lack of correlation between facial asymmetry and low self-esteem in adulthood,

which proposes a lower than assumed psychological impact [102] (Figs. 14,
15 and 16).
