“…A few years later, Faber and Towne 15 -now presumably with the capability to accurately differentiate microcephaly from craniosynostosis-also reported excellent preservation of neurological function with minimal morbidity and mortality. Additionally, based on their observations of outcomes, they pioneered the concept of early and prophylactic linear synostectomy for preservation of neurological function and improvement of cosmesis, commenting "it is probable that the evil effects of synostoses are largely preventable by a suitable operation performed sufficiently early in life."…”

Craniosynostosis, the premature closure of cranial sutures, has been known to exist for centuries, but modern surgical management has only emerged and evolved over the past 100 years. The success of surgery for this condition has been based on the recognition of scientific principles that dictate brain and cranial growth in early infancy and childhood. The evolution of strip craniectomies and suturectomies to extensive calvarial remodeling and endoscopic suturectomies has been driven by a growing understanding of how a prematurely fused cranial suture can affect the growth and shape of the entire skull. In this review, the authors discuss the early descriptions of craniosynostosis, describe the scientific principles upon which surgical intervention was based, and briefly summarize the eras of surgical management and their evolution to present day.

Glede na njuna opažanja in rezultate je bil zasnovan koncept zgodnje profilaktične kraniektomije, ki preprečuje nevrološke okvare in poskrbi za dober kozmetični rezultat.15 Tako je bila ugotovljena pomembnost zgodnjega posega pred tretjim mesecem starosti otroka.…”

IzvlečekSkafocefalija, najbolj pogosta kraniosinostoza, je posledica prezgodnjega zaraščanja sagitalnega šiva. Gre za stanje, ki poleg estetskih težav lahko povzroča tudi funkcionalne motnje. Brez ustreznega zdravljenja lahko nastanejo trajni nevrološki izpadi. Zato sta pomembni pravočasno diagnosticiranje in zdravljenje. Do sedaj je bilo uveljavljeno kirurško zdravljenje z odprto tehniko in večjim rezom kože. Predstavljamo prvi primer, pri katerem smo pri otroku uporabili endoskopsko tehniko za operacijo skafocefalije. Kožni rez je bil pri takem posegu veliko manjši, otrok po operaciji ni potreboval transfuzije in intenzivnega zdravljenja. V tem prispevku opisujemo novo, endoskopsko kirurško tehniko in razvoj kirurgije kraniosinostoz. AbstractThe most common craniosynostosis, scaphocephaly, is a consequence of premature closure of the sagittal suture. Craniosynostosis does not only pose a cosmetic problem, but it can also lead to permanent neurological deficits. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for a good outcome. Open surgery with large skin incision is currently the standard procedure. We present our first endoscope-assisted surgical procedure for scaphocephaly. After surgery, the infant did not need transfusion or intensive therapy, and the skin incision was minimal. This minimal invasive new surgical technique and its development are described. UvodPrirojene deformacije lobanje so poznane stoletja in so jih opisovali že v antiki.1 Prvi, ki je te anomalije povezal s prehitrim zaraščanjem lobanjskih šivov, je bil Virchow leta 1851.2Lobanja vseh kostnih vretenčarjev je sestavljena iz nevrokraniuma, ki obdaja in ščiti možgane, in viscerokraniuma, ki omogoča hranjenje in dihanje, pri sesalcih pa tvori obraz. Nevrokranij je sestavljen iz baze in kalvarije. Baza nastane s procesom enhondralne osifikacije. Enhondralna kost se primarno začne tvoriti okoli žil in živcev, ki vstopajo v lobanjo in kjer kasneje nastanejo tudi foramni, preko katerih potekajo živci in žile, ki predstavljajo komunikacije med možgani in preostankom telesa. Kalvarija je sestavljena iz membranskih kosti, ki so evolucijsko nastale iz zaščitnih dermalnih plošč zgodnjih rib brezčeljustnic. Te kosti nastanejo neposredno iz mezenhimskega tkiva z intramembransko osifikacijo in v nasprotju
