    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cloverleaf skull syndrome, a rare craniosynostosis, can cause hydrocephalus secondary to cranial deformities. Total craniectomy effectively reversed hydrocephalus, improving outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Cloverleaf skull syndrome is a rare congenital malformation characterized by premature fusion of cranial sutures.
    • Surgical management of this condition is exceptionally uncommon in medical literature.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology is crucial for effective treatment strategies.

    Observation:

    • Four cases of cloverleaf skull syndrome were analyzed.
    • The characteristic displacement of intracranial contents suggests intrauterine onset of craniosynostosis.
    • Hydrocephalus is not always present at birth but can develop secondarily.

    Findings:

    • Hydrocephalus appears secondary to obliterated cortical subarachnoid spaces and a cranial ring.
    • Total craniectomy was identified as a satisfactory treatment.

  • This surgical intervention led to the reversal of hydrocephalus.

    • Implications:

    • Early detection and surgical intervention are vital for cloverleaf skull syndrome.
    • Total craniectomy can result in significant cosmetic and neurological improvements.
    • This approach offers a viable treatment option for this rare condition.
