At presentation, the father reported skull surgery during his infancy for unilateral lambdoid craniosynostosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Each entry follows a 5 section structure that will cover (1) essential features of the disorder (2) physiological basis of the disorder (3) neuropsychological and other clinical presentation (4) assessment and diagnostic practices (5) evidence-based treatments [books.google.com]

In 100% of cases, the chief complaint at this initial visit was a progressive skull deformity present since birth. [skullbaseinstitute.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]

The imaging workup in cases of suspected craniosynostosis is affected by referral patterns. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

WORKUP Lab Studies: No particular laboratory tests are specific to craniosynostosis. [razianesth.freeservers.com]

Sleep apnea may be central, obstructive, or of mixed origin; proper workup and assessment are crucial to the establishment of the correct diagnosis and treatment. * Central apnea may result from intracranial hypertension. [pocketdentistry.com]

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]

Etiology Craniosynostosis has been estimated to occur in 1:2000 to 1:2500 births. [www2.aofoundation.org]

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

Firstly, it will act as a protective cushion to prevent undue pressure on any one side of the head and allow for better distribution of the pressure along the bones of the skull. [sickkids.ca]
