Besides esthetic results, we present 25 consecutive pediatric cases operated upon metopic suture synostosis with a focus on the child's motor, speech, and neurocognitive development. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Some children with just a ridge or mild metopic synostosis don’t need any medical treatment. For those who do, surgery has proven to be a successful approach. [childrenshospital.org]

Prognosis In general, a single operation is all that is necessary to treat this condition and the cosmetic and clinical outcomes are usually excellent especially for otherwise healthy, nonsyndromic infants. [skullbaseinstitute.com]

Prognosis Dependent on cause of craniosynostosis - if secondary then depends on cause of brain injury. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The etiology of trigonocephaly is mostly unknown although there are three main theories. [1] Trigonocephaly is probably a multifactorial congenital condition, but due to limited proof of these theories this cannot safely be concluded. [2] Intrinsic bone [en.wikipedia.org]
