Congenital malformations such as craniosynostosis can affect the growth of the skull in newborns. This rare condition is characterized by premature closure of the cranial sutures, resulting in cranial deformities and, in some cases, compression of brain development.
With early surgical intervention, many children with craniosynostosis are able to develop normally and lead active lives.

Craniosynostosis, also known as craniostenosis, is a growth disorder of the skull that affects infants. The condition is characterized by premature fusion of the sutures, the flexible joints that connect the bones of the skull. This premature fusion prevents the brain from developing normally and leads to changes in the shape and size of the skull.
There are many causes of craniosynostosis, including
The symptoms of craniosynostosis are varied and depend on the suture involved and the extent of bone fusion. Signs may affect the physical appearance of the affected individual and may include various disorders in other parts of the body.
Typical findings include:
This is where premature closure of the cranial sutures leads to stagnation of the cranial perimeter. Cranial deformities include:
In addition to cranial deformities, craniosynostosis may cause:
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to limit the consequences of craniosynostosis. In cases of severe craniosynostosis, our neurosurgical experts in Turkey perform surgery. This should be done as early as possible to avoid the risk of the disease worsening.
Treatment of craniosynostosis is primarily surgical and aims to reshape the skull and allow normal brain development. Surgery is usually performed in early childhood. The surgeon will use one of the following methods to do this:
Our neurosurgeons in Turkey may combine several procedures to achieve optimal results. Wearing a cranial correction helmet after surgery also promotes successful skull reshaping.
Turquie Santé offers its patients a wide choice of accredited clinics in Turkey. Our partner facilities are equipped with the most advanced technological tools and skilled personnel.
In fact, surgery should not be performed after the first year of life. This is because a baby's brain grows very rapidly, especially during the first 3 months. What's more, the malleability of a newborn's skull means that permanent correction of the brain's shape is more likely.
