How is craniosynostosis diagnosed?
You or your doctor may notice that your baby has an odd-shaped head at birth, shortly after birth, or later at a well-child checkup.
Craniosynostosis is a condition present at birth (congenital) in which one or more of the joints between the bones of your child's skull (sutures) close prematurely, before your child's brain is fully formed.
Craniosynostosis results in head deformity that can be severe and permanent if it is not corrected. Increased intracranial pressure, seizures, and developmental delay can occur.

Craniosynostosis is a rare type of birth defect where a baby is born with an abnormally shaped skull or develops one during growth. This is because the normal development of the skull is disrupted.

Craniosynostosis occurs in about 1 in 2000 live births. It occurs more often with a twin pregnancy or if the shape of the uterus is abnormal and constrains the growth of the baby's head. Craniosynostosis is also seen more often: ...

Craniosynostosis A premature ossification (closing) of the cranial sutures before birth or soon after birth. This condition is occasionally associated with other skeletal defects.
Craniosynostosis-A premature closure of one or more of the joints (fissures) between the bones of the skull, which causes an abnormally shaped skull.
Hydrocephalus-The accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the skull.
Primary craniosynostosis. If your baby has primary craniosynostosis, usually one but sometimes more of the cranial sutures become rigid, fusing the connecting bones and inhibiting the brain's ability to grow normally.
craniosynostosis-a condition in which the sutures (soft spots) in the skull of an infant close too early, causing problems with normal brain and skull growth.

Craniosynostosis is a congenital (present at birth) defect that causes one or more sutures on a baby's head to close earlier than normal. Sutures are connections that separate each individual skull bones.

In acrocephalosyndactyly there is closure too-early of some of the sutures of the skull (craniosynostosis).
The craniofacial characteristics of Loeys-Dietz syndrome include early fusion of the skull bones (known as craniosynostosis), widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism), and cleft palate or split uvula.
The primary features are an abnormal shape of the skull (called oxycephaly) and underdeveloped or absent bones in the forearm, primarily the radius (which is why the name craniosynostosis-radial aplasia syndrome is sometimes used).
Your pediatrician may be able to assess and diagnose positional plagiocephaly without an x-ray, but an x-ray can rule out craniosynostosis, a more serious disorder in which the bones of the skull fuse together too early, ...
