CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS What is craniofacial surgery? Craniofacial surgery is a surgical subspecialty developed by Paul Tessier thirty years ago in France. It involves surgery of the skull and face for tumors, trauma, and congenital deformities. For many years, the severity of these conditions was thought too risky for surgical intervention. Tessier, a surgeon himself, challenged this belief and began building the foundation of craniofacial surgery. In doing so, he recognized that this complex form of surgery could only be performed by a specially trained surgeon who was supported by a highly skilled team. The surgical team at Hermann Children's Hospital includes a pediatric neurosurgeon and craniofacial surgeon as well as a specialized anesthesiologist. The neurosurgeon works on the skull and the craniofacial surgeon on the face. With both areas being closely related the combined approach offers the best possible results with the highest level of safety. What is craniosynostosis? Diagram of skull, showing location of fontanelles and sutures The skull of an infant is made up of free-floating bones separated by fibers called sutures. This arrangement allows the infant's head to pass through the birth canal and also enables the skull to grow with the brain in early infancy.

printer friendly CRANIOFACIAL CONDITIONS home more about us in your area conditions information ... how you can help search this site Abnormalities of skull shape can arise either from external pressure exerted on the head in early life, or from intrinsic abnormalities of growth. The most common intrinsic abnormality of skull growth is called craniosynostosis, which affects about 1 in 2,500 children. Craniosynostosis is the medical term for the premature closure of one or more of the seams between the skull bones. As the brain grows during fetal life and childhood, the overlying skull also enlarges by adding new bone at these seams, which are termed sutures. The major sutures are the midline metopic (at the front) and sagittal (at the top) sutures, and the paired coronal and lambdoid sutures. The coronal sutures run across the skull in front of the ears, crossing the junction of the metopic and sagittal sutures; the lambdoid sutures divide from the back end of the sagittal suture and run obliquely forwards to end up behind the each ear. The remaining 20% of craniosynostosis is more complex and either involves the fusion of multiple sutures (5%), and/or is combined with additional changes in the face, limbs or other parts of the body, indicating a "syndrome" (15%). Over 100 craniosynostosis syndromes have been described, most of which are extremely rare; the most common syndromes are Crouzon, Pfeiffer, Apert, Muenke, Saethre-Chotzen and craniofrontonasal syndromes. In these complex cases, there may be additional problems with the vision, breathing, hearing, teeth, learning development, facial appearance and malformation of the limbs and other organs.

Rigid Image Registration
We wanted to transform a 3D CT data set of a 5 month old infant head after the surgery to correct the sagittal synostosis (periop) into a 3D CT data set of a 16 month old infant head (postop). Before we could do this, we had to rigidly register the data sets through rotation and translation. The periop and postop data sets were rigidly registered along the Frankfort Horizontal and Midsagittal planes with the sella turcica being the origin of the coordinate system.

Consistent Image Registration
The results below show the transformation of a 5 to 16 month old infant head with sagittal synostosis with respect to the sella turcica (origin). The 3D CT data set taken after surgery at 5 months of age (periop) was transformed into the shape of the 3D CT data set taken after surgery at 16 months of age (postop). These results were generated using a consistent linear-elastic transformation. The Periop image was used as the template and the Postop image was used as the target . The images below show the skin and skull surface renderings of the template, target, deformed template, and deformed target.

Reported incidence varies from 3-5 per 10,000 (Cohen, 1986) to as high as 10 per 10,000 (French et al., 1990). These discrepancies may be due to different methods of ascertainment, i.e., surgical (Lammer et al., 1997) vs. medical cases, or may result from different diagnostic criteria used to differentiate between isolated and syndromic cases. Prospective analysis of 29,235 births in a single hospital identified 18 cases over an 8 year period, yielding a birth prevalence of 6 per 10,000 for isolated non-syndromic cases (Shuper et al., 1985). Epidemiologic study conducted in Western Australia between 1980-1994 documented prevalence of 5.02 per 10,000 births (Singer et al., 1999). Most commonly non-syndromic craniosynostosis occur sporadically. About 8-10% of coronal synostosis patients have a positive family history of the disorder, but only about 2% of sagittal synostosis present as familial forms (Hunter and Rudd, 1976; 1977; Shuper et al., 1985). However, some of the patients with coronal synostosis may have been misdiagnosed as non-syndromic, due to the extreme variability of some Mendelian syndromes.

Single Suture Craniosynostosis
Back One of the UK Supra Regional Hospitals can give you more advice SINGLE SUTURE CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS : in the vast majority of cases the compensatory growth of the normal sutures is generally sufficient to allow the developing brain to grow without causing raised pressure. However, in a certain percentage of cases the restriction is such that the pressure within the skull rises (raised intracranial pressure). There are a number of reasons why surgery may be indicated for the treatment of an established disfigurement to attempt to prevent the progression of a developing disfigurement to relieve raised intracranial pressure to decrease the risk of developing raised intracranial pressure or other functional pressure-related affects. Types of single suture craniosynostosis: Sagittal synostosis = fusion of the midline sagittal suture, growth fails to occur across the head and excessive growth occurs from front to back leading to Scaphocephaly = boat shaped head Metopic synostosis = fusion of the anterior midline suture with failure of adequate transverse growth in the forehead, and compensatory growth posteriorly and laterally leading to

What is
craniofacial
surgery?
Craniofacial surgery consists of operations on the soft tissues and bones in the head and face. These operations are done primarily on children born with abnormal shapes of the head and face. Sometimes such surgery is done in patients suffering with tumors, injuries or other disorders.
Why is it done? The most common reason for doing craniofacial surgery is to correct abnormal head and face shapes, which certain children are born with or develop after birth. This is due to craniosynostosis.
What is
Craniosynostosis?
In this disorder, a child presents with a characteristic deformity of the head, or head and face. It is typically an intrauterine (inside the womb) event. This is probably due to a misdirected message from a gene. It is not due to a defect in parents. Sometimes, postnatal (after birth) synostosis can occur as well. There are rare cases where this is due to inborn errors of metabolism where the body chemicals affect bone growth abnormally.

4) The periosteum overlying the suture may be involved. ASSOCIATED DISORDERSThe sagittal synostosis is rarely associated with other abnormalities.
http://www.thamburaj.com/craniosynostosis.htm
Craniosynostosis: Dr. A. Vincent Thamburaj. N eurosurgeon, Apollo Hospitals, Chennai , India. You may try the links, recommended below, for more. Craniosynostosis is the premature partial or complete ossification of one or more of the sutures separating the membranous bones of the skull. Primary craniosynostosis is almost always present prenatally except in some with cranio facial syndromes of Crouzan's, Apert's and Carpenter's type in whom progressive postnatal closure may occur. It is called 'simple' when one suture is involved,’ compound' when more than one is involved. Secondary stenosis occurs in children with microcephaly and in some who have had shunts in place for hydrocephalus. In some Rickets, Hyperthyroidism, Thalassaemia, or Mucopolysaccharidosis may be associated. PATHOGENESIS: The cranial vault develops intramembranous bone formation between the periosteum and the dura. This process begins during the 6th week of embryonic development. The posterior fontanel closes at 3 mths of age and the anterior one, at 8mths of age. The bones ossify by the end of first year. The skull growth ceases by 10-12 yrs of age. The ossification of the cranial sutures occurs by the 4th-5th decade. The base develops from a series of primordial cartilages that undergo ossification. The growth of the base proceeds at a slower rate. The skull contains two types of sutures- syndesmoses and synchondroses.
