Title: Delayed and Progressive Multiple Suture Craniosynostosis
Abstract: Abstract A considerable amount of information is available on various types of craniosynostoses. The patient exhibiting single suture synostosis that progresses to involve multiple sutures is distinctly uncommon, as is the patient exhibiting delayed synostosis involving all of the calvarial sutures. We report a group of 11 such patients with progressive and delayed holocalvarial synostosis. Most patients exhibited features of raised intracranial pressure or developmental delay, and in all patients symptoms were relieved after surgery. The diagnostic and therapeutic implications of this type of presentation in craniosynostosis are discussed.
