Understanding Craniosynostosis
Craniosynostosis is a condition that affects the normal growth of a baby's skull. Normally, the skull is made up of several bones that are separated by sutures. These sutures allow the skull to expand as the brain grows. However, when one or more of these sutures close prematurely, it can lead to abnormal skull growth and shape.
There are different types of craniosynostosis, including sagittal synostosis, metopic synostosis, coronal synostosis, and lambdoid synostosis. Each type affects a different area of the skull and can result in various symptoms.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The symptoms of craniosynostosis can vary depending on the type and severity of the condition. Some common signs include an abnormal head shape, bulging or hardening of certain areas of the skull, difficulty with normal brain growth and development, and potential pressure on the brain.
Diagnosing craniosynostosis involves a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical examination and diagnostic imaging such as a CT scan or an MRI. Dr. Foley utilizes state-of-the-art technology to accurately assess the condition and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment Options
When it comes to treating craniosynostosis, cranial vault remodeling is often the recommended option. This surgical procedure involves reshaping and repositioning the affected bones of the skull to allow for proper brain growth and development. The goal of the surgery is not only to correct the physical appearance of the head but also to ensure optimal brain function.
At Foley James D MD, we take a personalized approach to each patient's treatment. Dr. Foley will thoroughly evaluate your child and discuss the surgical options available, including the timing of the procedure. Our team understands the importance of considering both the aesthetic and functional aspects of craniosynostosis treatment.
The Benefits of Cranial Vault Remodeling
Cranial vault remodeling offers numerous benefits to patients of all ages. By addressing craniosynostosis early on, we can promote healthy brain development and prevent potential complications. The surgery can improve both the appearance and function of the head, allowing for a more symmetrical and natural look.
Furthermore, cranial vault remodeling can enhance the long-term quality of life for individuals with craniosynostosis. By correcting the underlying condition, patients often experience improved self-esteem and a reduced risk of developmental delays. The surgery can pave the way for a bright and promising future.
