Scaphocephaly treatment in Celaya

Scaphocephaly is a form of craniosynostosis in which one of the sutures of the baby's skull closes prematurely, giving the head a long, narrow shape.

How it presents: The skull is longer than usual from front to back, with the forehead or the back somewhat prominent, features that are usually noticed in the first months of life.

When to seek care? If the parents notice an unusual head shape or a hardened suture, it is a good idea to mention it during the child's growth checkups.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician performs the first assessment of the baby's development and, when necessary, coordinates with other professionals; raising these observations helps clarify the picture in time.
