This study reports the first known case of acquired unilateral coronal craniosynostosis in a 22-month-old male, developing after intracranial surgery. The findings highlight a rare complication and prompt further investigation into acquired craniosynostosis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Coronal craniosynostosis, a premature fusion of skull sutures, is well-documented in sporadic and syndromic forms.
  • Acquired forms of craniosynostosis are exceptionally rare, with no prior reports of unilateral coronal synostosis.

Observation:

  • A 22-month-old male presented with left unilateral coronal craniosynostosis.
  • The condition developed subsequent to multiple surgical interventions for birth-related intracranial injuries.

Findings:

  • This case represents the first documented instance of acquired unilateral coronal craniosynostosis.
  • The study reviews the potential genesis and molecular biology underlying this rare condition.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • This case expands the understanding of craniosynostosis etiology, suggesting acquired factors can play a role.
  • Highlights the need for vigilance regarding potential suture fusion after significant intracranial trauma or surgery.
  • May inform future diagnostic and management strategies for atypical craniosynostosis presentations.
