Craniosynostosis
Craniosynostosis is a condition present from birth in which one or more of the sutures of the baby's skull close too early, which can change the shape of the head as it grows.
How it is recognized: It is usually noticed by an unusual head shape, early closure of the soft spots, or asymmetrical growth of the head.
Why it is evaluated early: Early detection allows for proper monitoring of the baby's development.
Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon and the pediatric surgeon are key figures in its evaluation, with support from the pediatrician, the pediatric neurologist, and the geneticist depending on the case. If you notice anything unusual about the shape of your baby's head, discussing it with a professional allows for a timely evaluation.
