Craniosynostosis patients require attention for amblyopia and strabismus to preserve vision. Orbital imaging aids surgical planning for these complex cases.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Neurosurgery
Genetics

Background:

Craniosynostosis, a condition of premature skull fusion, is associated with ocular abnormalities.
Syndromic craniosynostosis (e.g., Apert, Crouzon) and nonsyndromic forms present risks for visual impairment.

Purpose of the Study:

To review peer-reviewed literature on strabismus in craniosynostosis.
To highlight current understanding and challenges in managing visual deficits.

Main Methods:

Literature review of peer-reviewed articles.
Analysis of recent findings on visual impairment causes and surgical considerations.

Main Results:

Amblyopia is now the primary visual impairment in Apert's and Crouzon syndromes, surpassing optic atrophy due to improved neurosurgical care.

Nonsyndromic craniosynostosis patients exhibit a higher prevalence of refractive errors and horizontal strabismus.

Orbital and extraocular muscle imaging is recommended for effective presurgical planning.

Conclusions:

Prompt diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia and strabismus are crucial for vision preservation in craniosynostosis.
Orbital imaging can assist in surgical planning, although strabismus surgery remains challenging.
