Can the boat head recover itself?

summary

Scaphoid head, also known as ossification of cranial suture, is caused by congenital developmental disorder. At present, surgery is the only treatment. Cranial stenosis, also known as ossification of cranial suture, is caused by congenital developmental disorder, which is characterized by premature closure of one or more cranial sutures, resulting in skull deformation and nervous system dysfunction. Can the boat head recover itself?

Can the boat head recover itself?

The weight of brain tissue of infants can increase 85% in half a year and 135% in one year. This requires the skull to match and expand rapidly. If the cranial suture is closed prematurely, it will not only limit the development of the brain, but also the narrow skull will compress the brain tissue, causing a variety of brain dysfunction.

The appearance of the head is different because of the different closed position of the skull. If the sagittal suture of the skull, that is, the anterior and posterior suture is closed prematurely, the child's head can grow forward and backward, and the appearance is like a boat, which is called navicular head deformity in medicine. Such children are prone to seizures. A few people may have language and motor retardation.

Some children can also be accompanied by eye protrusion or strabismus, severe cases can cause optic atrophy, so that the child's vision or blindness. If the sagittal suture and coronal suture are closed prematurely, it can cause cusp deformity, the growth of brain tissue in all directions is limited, and children can have common clinical symptoms of scaphoid head deformity and short head deformity.

matters needing attention

Because ossification of cranial suture limits the development of brain, so early treatment is very important. At present, surgery is the only treatment. The purpose of the operation is to reopen the cranial suture, enlarge the cranial cavity, remove the factors that restrict brain development, prevent the increase of intracranial pressure, and improve the appearance of the skull and face. We should recognize the disease and strive for early operation, especially the operation within half a year old.
