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]
Craniosynostosis is a feature of many different genetic syndromes that have a variety of inheritance patterns and chances for recurrence, depending on the specific syndrome present. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
In cases with increased ICP, papilledema is present [32]. [bjbms.org]
Neurologic
- Bulging Fontanelle
Other, much less common signs may include: A full or bulging fontanelle (soft spot located on the top of the head) Sleepiness (or less alert than usual) Very noticeable scalp veins Increased irritability High-pitched cry Poor feeding Projectile vomiting [hopkinsmedicine.org]
Treatment
The surgical treatment of this condition should lead to significant improvement in the forehead shape regardless of the modality of treatment (Figure 3). [tp.amegroups.com]

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]
