Multisuture and Syndromic Craniosynostoses: Simplifying the Complex.

Most complex craniosynostoses are managed the same way as syndromic craniosynostoses (SCs), as these patients often experience similar problems regarding cognition and increased intracranial pressure (ICP). The evaluation and treatment plan for craniosynostoses is complex, and this, additionally, is complicated by the age at presentation. In this article, the authors review the complexity of SCs in the presentation and management. An algorithm is necessary for such multifaceted and multidimensional pathology as craniosynostoses. In most algorithms, posterior calvarial distraction is a consistent early option for complex craniosynostoses presenting early with raised ICP. Addressing the airway early is critical when significant airway issues are there. All other surgical interventions are tailored on the basis of presentation and age.
