“…It has been suggested that fetal head constraint contributes to craniosynostosis [24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. However, postnatal extrinsic pressure may cause deformational cranial vault changes, not synostosis [31,32,33,34]. The important aspects of surgical correction include release or excision of cranial sutures and cranial vault expansion.…”

Pansynostosis (fusion of all cranial sutures) and optic atrophy were found as incidental CT scan and ophthalmological findings in an 8-year-old who presented to the emergency room with scalp edema from tight ‘cornrow’ hair braiding. Cranial vault expansion was successfully performed. Ophthalmological problems have stabilized but have not reversed. Late presentation of craniosynostosis and the pathophysiology of secondary optic atrophy are discussed.

“…Similarly, physical constraint of the head does not always result in craniosynostosis. Despite studies suggesting that in utero constraint leads to craniosynostosis (Graham et al, 1979, 1980; Higginbottom et al, 1980), other studies have concluded that constraint leads only to deformation of the skull while sutures remain patent (Ferri et al, 1997; Bradley et al, 2000). Thus, we have little understanding of the relationship of physical constraint to suture fusion.…”

Studies of isolated craniosynostosis have shown biomechanical and biochemical influences on the craniofacial phenotype, resulting from both genetic and epigenetic factors. Much less attention has been directed toward the morphology of the brain, despite the interactive nature of the developing skull and developing brain. The aim of this study is to define the morphology of the brain in nonsyndromic unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) in order to form more complete hypotheses about the cause of craniosynostosis. Landmark coordinate data were collected from 3D magnetic resonance image reconstructions of the brain in a sample of UCS patients and an age-matched morphologically normal cohort. These data were analyzed using Euclidean distance matrix analysis. The results of our study demonstrate that despite the basic similarity of overall shape of the brain and skull in UCS, the effects of craniosynostosis on the brain are not localized to structures immediately adjacent to the fused suture or to the endocranial surface of the skull. Rather, alterations are observed throughout the volume of the brain, with subcortical structures altered in conjunction with cortical changes. These results indicate that the morphological correlates are different for brain and skull and suggest that there is a large degree of independence in the developmental trajectories of the brain and skull.
