Abstract

‘Syndromic craniosynostosis’ (SC) refers to compound, multi-sutural synostosis along with extracranial manifestations such as limb anomalies, lower respiratory tract (tracheal) malformations, and cardiac anomalies. Central nervous system (CNS) anomalies often underlie the craniofacial malformations. This chapter reviews the various manifestations of syndromic craniosynostosis.
