Because the skullcannotexpand perpendicular to the fused suture, it compensates bygrowingmore in the direction parallel to the closed sutures.Sometimes theresulting growth pattern provides the necessary spacefor thegrowing brain, but results in an abnormal head shape andabnormalfacial features. In cases in which the compensation doesnoteffectively provide enough space for the growingbrain,craniosynostosis results in increased intracranial pressureleadingpossibly to visual impairment, sleeping impairment,eatingdifficulties, or an impairment of mental development combinedwitha significant reduction in IQ. Craniosynostosis occurs in onein2000 births. Craniosynostosis is part of a syndrome in 15 to 40%ofthe patients, but it usually occurs as an isolated condition.
