- Abstract
While the focus of craniosynostosis surgery is to improve head shape, neurocognitive sequelae are common and are incompletely understood. Neurodevelopmental problems that children with craniosynostosis face include cognitive and language impairments, motor delays or deficits, learning disabilities, executive dysfunction, and behavioral problems. Studies have shown that children with multiple suture craniosynostosis have more impairment than children with single-suture craniosynostosis. Children with isolated single-suture subtypes of craniosynostosis such as sagittal, metopic, and unicoronal craniosynostosis can have distinct neurocognitive profiles. In this review, we discuss the unique neurodevelopmental profiles of children with single-suture subtypes of craniosynostosis.
