• Swelling

  For graphical representation, the optic discs were classified on a scale from 1 to 6 (6 indicates no swelling; 5, congested; 4, mild swelling; 3, moderate swelling; 2, marked swelling; and 1, pallor). [jamanetwork.com]

  This swelling is not harmful to the patients. The swelling is greatest 1-2 days after surgery and then will quickly improve. The patient’s energy level will also improve 3-5 days after surgery. [hopkinsallchildrens.org]

  After one or two hours, this swelling will go away. In order to reduce or prevent swelling, we recommend that you put your child to sleep on his or her back for several weeks after surgery. [cincinnatichildrens.org]

  Swelling is most noticeable 2-3 days after surgery and takes several weeks to completely resolve. In a patient with significant facial swelling, the breathing tube is left in place to protect the air passage. [childrens.memorialhermann.org]

  Your child will have swelling and bruising around the eyes and face. Sometimes, the eyes may be swollen shut. This often gets worse in the first 3 days after surgery. It should be better by day 7. [medlineplus.gov]

  […] to perform surgery in late infancy, i.e. between six and twelve months. [40] Within this time frame the efficacy of surgery will be enhanced for several reasons: The bone is still more malleable and can be remodelled relatively 'simply' by greenstick fractures [en.wikipedia.org]

• Dizziness

  There are also some visual symptoms: dizziness, difficulty swallowing, pain in neck or arms, and even worsening symptoms with problems walking, respiratory, heart and abdominal symptoms. [mycranioangel.com]

By comparison, skull deformities due to premature fusion of the lambdoid suture persist and may become progressively worse, ultimately requiring corrective surgery.23 Recent increases in awareness and workup of posterior deformities have most likely contributed [skullbaseinstitute.com]

Types 2 and 3 generally have severe neurological compromise, poor prognosis, early death, and sporadic occurrence. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Treatment and prognosis Treatment is often with a cranioplasty. Abnormal intracranial pressure may affect neurocognition. [radiopaedia.org]

The etiology has been attributed to genetic factors and primary disorders of bone growth, in addition to secondary effects of other diseases and modulators of the in utero environment. [thieme-connect.com]

The etiology of craniosynostosis is heterogeneous. Isolated occurrence with unknown etiology is common, mostly affecting the sagittal suture. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
