Moreover, compared with those with SCS, they seem to present a lower risk of requiring reoperation, 5 but this small sample precludes any definitive conclusion. [nature.com]

Craniosynostosis where no extracranial deformations are present, is called non-syndromic or 'isolated' craniosynostosis. [6] When there are extracranial deformations present, for instance involving the limbs, heart, central nervous system or the respiratory [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis [ 3 ] The survival of people with Down's syndrome has dramatically increased in the past few decades, largely as a result of improved surgical repair of congenital heart defects. [patient.info]

It is therefore uncertain whether, in such cases, karyotyping should be undertaken, especially for those abnormalities that have a high prevalence in the general population and for which the prognosis in the absence of a chromosomal defect is good. [sonoworld.com]
