Sagittal Craniosynostosis Surgery

When the spaces between the bones of a baby's skull, called sutures, close too early, it may affect the skull's shape. This is called Craniosynostosis. When the midline, or sagittal suture closes, it may result in an elongated head-shape. At Children's Hospital Colorado, we can offer several surgical options to correct this condition, including our minimally-invasive approach.

Im terrified for my kid rn 😭

[@prashantpatil7796]

If a newborn does not have a soft spot on his head, is it a sign of craniosynostosis ?

[@kristymarie6065]

Do they put pins in your head? I had this done and I have two pins in my forehead. It’s been 30 yrs and I have no idea what type of material they used in the 80s and I have to get a ct scan and I’m not even sure if I can get one.. ugh wish I could get medical records from 30 yrs ago

[@fmbighair]

I’m 42 and I have a scare from front to back of my head for sagital suture when I was a baby. My mom told me this had to be done because the soft spot wasn’t healing properly. People always ask about my scar because I’m bald. Is your visible? I’m pretty sure I’ve had ct scan.

Can adults get this done if so where?

[@74bobby]

I would like to know this as well

[@charlieplays3119]

I had this condition but, was immediately treated.

[@xLCLIPx]

Had? No you still have it I have it too they just reshaped your skull

[@davhematian2795]

How old are you now and does it have any affect on you today?

[@ayandasithole9900]

My son had the procedure done in 2017 he had only just turned a year old

[@brycecrowder6702]

I had "still have"it and there is no affect other than a weird shaped head. If it is not treated alot of mental issues can occur. Your brain will be squished and grow in a weird shape causing parts of the brain not to get the proper growth.

My forehead comes out and my family felt there was nothing wrong with my forehead. Meanwhile...ive been living under a hat for the last 25 years and have done absolutely nothing with my life due to this damn condition

I had the first surgury

[@neckebb6462]

my son had the first endoscopic surgery in Utah, what kind did you have, how old are you

[@kevinkantouth]

The first surgery for this very specific surgery? Mine was performed in 1991, I can promise you I wasn't the first. in fact, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17471133 says the first one was performed in 1890.

[@devilinthedarkness4830]

I had this surgery in 88, I was about 8 months old. I have a scar from ear to ear. My head did develop but I gotta grow my hair out as its kinda embarrassing the scar. However it is nice that the surgery allowed me to live a still functional life.

[@pinkipardhan4265]

Hii my child has a pointed forhead he is 5month old , doctor said it's cranisynostosis and it will be accurate by surgery , pls suggest at which age surgery is safe

[@ashleyhunter5940]

My son is having his surgery on the 25th of this month. He's 1 and I'm so scared but he needs it. You can't tell his head is deformed by looking at him but you can tell by looking at him through a mirror.

[@74bobby]

@@ashleyhunter5940 all 3 of my kids had the Surgery. The Doctors are Great and know what they are Doing...

[@foryou475]

[@xLCLIPx]

I'm 14 I had the surgery when I was 1 I tell people and, they cant believe iv even had the surgery.

[@deb310red]

If you're having headaches, you should see a craniofacial surgeon.

[@user-uf4tx1sk8i]

i have pressure but im not sure if its from this condition since it only happens when im awake for too long or staring a screen too long

[@tariqmahmood6293]

@Param Ludhiana do you have symptoms?

[@brycecrowder6702]

I have this. Have the scar all across my head. Causmght it early. Have a weird shaped head tho XD

[@hecc]

same, i have scars all over my head and it’s kind of annoying because i can’t really feel my head lol

[@clydecromey6933]

Better than not having the surgery and having a forehead that comes out like mine. Life has been difficult and lonely

[@albin2591]

same, but for me the biggest problem is that my forehead got bigger.
