Craniosynostosis information and locations in Mexico
Cranial deformation from craniosynostosis is a congenital condition in which one or more sutures of the skull close prematurely, before the brain has completed its growth.
This can affect both brain development and physical appearance, as the fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull fuse too early, limiting the available space for the brain to grow properly.
The treatment for craniosynostosis generally involves reshaping the skull to relieve pressure and allow for normal brain development. In more severe cases, open surgery is performed, which involves extensive reshaping of the skull. For less severe cases or when diagnosed early, endoscopic surgery may be chosen, which is less invasive and ideally performed on infants under 6 months old, allowing for quicker recovery and less scarring.
Seeking pediatric neurosurgical treatment in Mexico for craniosynostoses allows families to access highly qualified experts using the latest technology and surgical techniques, frequently at a more competitive cost compared to international options.

What causes cranial deformation in children?
Causes can be congenital or acquired. Congenital causes may be malformations due to developmental issues in the baby or infections during pregnancy. Acquired causes develop after birth and can be due to head trauma, infections in the nervous system, tumors, or brain hemorrhages in premature infants.
Can my child live a normal life?
Timely treatment and follow-up increase the chances of leading a relatively normal life. However, in addition to treatment, many children may require physical or occupational therapy.
