What is Craniosynostosis?

Do you think your newborn has a “funny-shaped” head? A skilled pediatrician can tell whether it could be #craniosynostosis, the premature closure of one or more growth plates of the skull prior to birth, resulting in an abnormal head shape. The only way to treat craniosynostosis is with surgery, performed by an expert pediatric neurosurgeon and craniofacial surgeon here at Wolfson Children’s Hospital. Early identification is key: a child under 6 months old can undergo an endoscopic procedure, leaving minimal scarring, while older babies require a more open procedure. After surgery, the child spends a year in a specialized helmet, some of which are created with the help of our #WolfsonRehab team.
