Craneosinostosis sagital: A propósito de un caso

Abstract

Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more of the cranial sutures. It includes a wide spec- trum of cranial malformations, from closing of an isolated suture to the closing of several sutures, or associated to other malformations, constituting syndromic craniosynostosis. The pediatrician must distinguish the positional deformities or postural plagiocephaly, more frequent, from the craniosynostosis, that needs surgical treatment and whose early diagnosis improves the prog- nosis. We present the case of an infant with scafocephaly due to isolated craniosynostosis.
