Normal skull development
In humans, the adult skull is normally made up of 28 bones. The flat bones making up the cranial vault are joined together by sutures: rigid articulations permitting very little movement.

Are there any risks to waiting My daughter is almost 7 months
old and they surgeons we met
with can not get her into
their schedule until 9months
of age. Is there any risks to
waiting this long? What about
increased ICP? What about
brain damage? What about brain
growth and development?

You are the only advocate your child has. Is it possible that you could call other facilities and ask other doctors? Don't be afraid you're being a "pest". It's a parents job to be a pest! If any of these surgeons were in your position, they would do the same. Did you ask you childs' doctor the same questions? Have you checked out the Childrens Craniofacial Association? http://www.ccakids.com/ It appears that having the surgery done before the age of one year improves the outcome. So you've still got that bit of time on your side. But again, ask your doctor/surgeon about your daughters particular case and let them know you're concerned about waiting so long. Hope everything goes great for her! All the best! |

Craniosynostosis? Does anyone I am wondering if I need to
get a second opinion on my
daughters condition. Her
doctor said that she wouldnt
need surgery.
She is now 8 and has
pertruding forhead and some
droopiness of her eyes. I
think that she is to old for
the surgery but I am unsure. I
took the doctors word for it
when he said she didnt need
the surgery. But, now that she
is older and I see it more, I
am concerned that it will
cause problems for her later
in life socially.

Definately get a second opinion. I don't know how old a child can be and still have the surgery. Did the doctor ever mention using molds to shape her skull? Don't wait any longer about seeing another doctor. If something can be done it most likely will have to be done soon. |
