Craniosynostosis

Synostosis is the fusion of adjacent bones.  In the cranial vault this is an abnormal process.  This module delves into the various permutations of fusion of different sutures resulting in different phenotypes.  Synostosis is compared and contrasted with plagiocephaly which is not fusion but restriction resulting in an abnormal phenotype.  The application of cranial osteopathy may offer restoration in the case of plagiocephaly and symptomalogically restorative in synostosis and at the very least anodyne.
