Abstract
Craniosynostosis, both isolated and syndromic, are challenging malformations for the craniofacial team. They present the team with an articulated cascade of choices, which need to be addressed early in life and in the growing age to intercept, remove, or correct the direct and indirect consequences of the malformation. Timing of treatment is thus critical and it stands on the experience of a multi-specialty trained craniofacial team. In this paper the authors discuss the timing of treatment of the major craniosynostosis, isolated and syndromic, reviewing the options for treatment and their experience in this complex field. © 2013 European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
