Craniosynostosis treatment in Ciudad de México

Premature closure of the sutures, known as craniosynostosis, is a condition in which one or more of the flexible joints between the bones of a baby's skull fuse ahead of time, which can influence the shape of the head as the brain grows.

Possible signs: An irregular skull shape, a hard ridge along a suture, or changes in the contour of the head may be noticed during the first months of life.

When to consult? An evaluation is reasonable when an unusual head shape or atypical skull growth is observed in the baby.

Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation falls to the neurosurgeon, with the pediatrician following up on development. If you observe changes in the shape of your baby's head, raising it at a visit makes proper guidance possible.
