Craniosynostosis
Keywords:
Craniosynostosis, Cranial fusionAbstract
Craniosynostosis are not uncommon in Thailand. The most common anomaly is Crouzon syndrome and the second most common is Apert syndrome. The incidence of these groups are not difference form other part of the world. Complications of Craniosynostosis are increased intracranial pressure, severe exophthalmos with ophthalmic complications and malocclusion. Timing of surgery are remain controversial; Fronto-orbital advancement was accepted operation for many years, but Monobloc advancement are not universal acceptation because of its complications and uncertain results. We have 39 cases of Craniosynostosis admitted in Chulalongkorn hospital between January 1985 to December 1995, some was non-operated case and die from severe congenital anomalies in early life and some has been treated and has good results.
