Abstract:
Normalization of craniofacial malformation in syndromic craniosynostosis patients is an extended process. The care starts at birth and ends in adolescence. Multiple surgeries may be required for each deformity. The relationship among patient, family, and doctor team is important because they must understand the complete processes of management. Psychologists provide an important support mechanism.
