Slide 1-

Craniosynostosis
Slide 2-

Introduction Craniosynostosis is a group of disorders characterized by premature closure of one or more of the cranial sutures, resulting in characteristic skull deformities. Growth of the skull is restricted in the plane perpendicular to the affected suture, but compensatory growth occurs in the plane parallel to the fused suture.
Slide 3-

It affects 1 in 2500 live births more than 60 mutations or DNA errors have been identified
Slide 4-

Non-syndromic craniosynostosis often presents as a single-suture abnormality and most commonly with premature fusion of the sagittal or coronal sutures Syndromic craniosynostosis typically involves premature fusion of multiple sutures with a wide range of associated systemic anomalies the most common of these syndromes are Muenke, Crouzon, Pfeiffer, Apert and Saethre-Chotzen syndromes
Slide 5-

ophthalmic features Astigmatism Amblyopia Ptosis Strabismus corneal ulcer secondaryto exposure keratopathy papilledema and optic atrophy secondary to increased intracranial pressure (may be exacerbated by often associated obstructive sleep apnea)
Slide 6-

The prevalence of strabismus in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis varies from 39% to 90.9% is also common in non-syndromic craniosynostosis, particularly when the coronal suture(s) are involved. Exotropia is more common than esotropia, and V pattern with true or “pseudo” superior oblique (SO) palsy dominates the landscape
