Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of sutures of the cranium, resulting inan abnormal skull shape and restricted brain growth. It usually occurs as an isolated condition, but may also be associated with other malformations as part of complex syndromes. Sutures are brous joints peculiar to skull and are immovable. In a neonatal skull these sutures corresponds to fontanelles or soft spots. These membranous gaps enable the infant's skull bones to over ride during vaginal delivery and also permitting brain growth. These sutures may synostose and get obliterated as age advances. When one or more of these sutures are prematurely closed there will be raised intracranial pressure, abnormally shaped skull and many other respiratory and neurological dysfunctions.
