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]
The general features of a child with Apert syndrome are similar to those in Crouzon syndrome however there is not as much variability between cases and the degree of presentation is more severe.[aomsi.com]
This paper presents a case of craniosynostosis with a genetic tendency; and although it occurred between siblings, the affected lesions differed. Thus, appropriate diagnosis and management in patients are needed.[e-acfs.org]
By 6,000 years ago the Torres Straits reached close to the present configuration.[internetlooks.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]
A point of difference from Marfan syndrome is that ectopialentis does not occur. Skeletal manifestations include bowed long bones, metaphy- Fig. 1.12. Craniofrontonasal dysplasia in a 3-year-old girl.[rrnursingschool.biz]
The clinical features include misshapen skull caused by coronal suture synostosis, wide-set eyes, mid-facehypoplasia, choanal stenosis, and shallow orbits.[aafp.org]
Before treatment, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months from treatment all of the children will be scanned by Star Scanner (Orthomerica) to provide objective measurement of the cranial vault asymmetry and index.[clinicaltrials.gov]

TreatmentTreatment in infancy is directed at correction of the suture fusion and resultant misshapen head. (See section on craniosynostosis).Surgical treatment of the midface deformity is usually done during the pre-school period (age 4-6 yrs).[aomsi.com]
One common cause for concern is the treatment of flat head syndrome, a condition that now affects almost half of infants.[technologyinmotion.com]

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]
On the basis of our experience, patients with TCF12 mutations seem to have a good prognosis.[nature.com]
