Explore craniosynostosis, its treatment strategies, and future developmental implications in children with UCLA plastic surgeon Dr. Justine Lee. Gain insights into the differences between craniosynostosis and positional plagiocephaly, learn about the functional risks associated with craniosynostosis, and understand the surgical considerations for affected infants. Delve into specific types such as sagittal and bicoronal craniosynostosis, and examine long-term neuropsychological effects. Discover the normal closure process of cranial sutures, pre-surgery preparations, and the relationship between microcephaly and craniosynostosis in this comprehensive medical lecture.
