Abstract

Craniosynostosis is abnormal early closure of cranial sutures by bony union. In literature the most commonly affected is the sagittal suture, however in Egypt oxycephaly is the commonest type. Less common is the syndromic type of craniosynostosis like Apert and Crouzon syndromes. Cases usually present with deformity and or symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure. Surgical intervention is recommended during the first year of life (3 to 9 months) to prevent serious complications resulting from long standing elevated intracranial pressure like optic atrophy, Blood loss during and after surgical correction is the most important risk of surgery.
