Craniosynostosis

Craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures, presents a spectrum of challenges ranging from altered skull morphology to potential neurodevelopmental impairment. This course provides an in-depth review of the pathophysiology, clinical presentations, and diagnostic approaches, including imaging modalities and genetic considerations. Participants gain insight into distinguishing syndromic from nonsyndromic cases, recognizing associated complications such as elevated intracranial pressure and sleep-disordered breathing, and understanding the indications for surgical intervention. A key focus of this activity is the management of craniosynostosis, emphasizing both minimally invasive and open surgical techniques, along with perioperative considerations such as airway management, hydrocephalus, and hearing evaluations. Collaboration within an interprofessional care team, including pediatricians, neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, geneticists, and other specialists, is emphasized to optimize patient outcomes. This activity aims to enhance clinical decision-making and improve the long-term developmental and functional prognosis for patients with craniosynostosis.
