Abstract


Craniosynostosis refers to skull deformities secondary to the premature closure of cranial suture. Isolated or multiple sutures craniosynostosis is more common than syndromic craniosynostosis. Deformities with synostosis are stigmatizing, and this provides a strong aesthetic indication for surgical correction in the non-syndromic group of patients. We present a case of non-syndromic sagittal synostosis in a ten months old patient underwent open surgical repair for skull deformity.
