Types of Craniosynostosis and their Etiology, Pathophysiology and Epidemiology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Sutures of the Skull

Abstract

Cranial sutures correspond to the junction sites of the different bones of the skull, remaining permeable and allowing cranial growth during the first years of life. The closure of these sutures in an abnormal and premature way represents a pathological condition that directly affects the function and cognitive development of the child, this disease represents a challenge for diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner and thus allow optimal development.

For its study, synostoses are divided into syndromic and non-syndromatic by their etiology and by anatomy according to the affected suture.

There are different techniques for the treatment of craniosynostosis according to the amount and sutures involved, as well as the associated brain or craniofacial injuries.

The study of cranial sutures from their embryological development and postnatal evolution as well as their pathological development, is complex. When a craniosynostosis occurs, a multidisciplinary team is required to carry out the different treatments that a patient of these characteristics requires, which involves the pediatric neurosurgeon, maxillofacial surgeon, plastic surgery, pediatric neurologist, geneticist. Pediatric cardiologist, pediatric anesthesiology.
