Abstract
In this paper, we describe the general concept, classification and treatment of craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis is a disorder in which there is early fusion of the sutures of the skull. It produces an abnormal shape of the head and face. The deformity varies significantly depending on the affected sutures. Surgical correction may be necessary to improve appearance and provide space for the growing brain. Multi-disciplinary team cooperation is mandatory to treat these cases. We emphasize that early treatment leads to better results.
