Abstract
Brain tissue growth is enabled by open cranial sutures and anterior and posterior fontanelles. A premature closure of one or more sutures of the skull occurs very rarely, it is called craniosynostosis.
It leads to characteristic head deformity. Craniosynostosis leads not only to cosmetic defects but also to the reduction of brain development and increase in intracranial and intraocular pressure.
Correct diagnosis is often restored late. The advantage of a good early diagnosis is the possibility of endoscopic remodelation which is less risk than standard open operation.
This article is about craniosynostosis and it is supplemented by a case report.
