Surgery to advance the mid portion of the face for patients with syndromic #Craniosynostosis involves maxillofacial surgery & plastic surgery, this is performed to correct breathing difficulties and improve the appearance of the eyes & midface in patients with complex syndromes.

The operations to treat #Craniosynostosis essentially involve removing large pieces of bone, reshaping them by bending and cutting them and turning the top of the skull into a 3 dimensional jigsaw puzzle which is then replaced back on to the head.

The core part of being a neurosurgeon is looking after patients. Here I am with a young lady who I operated for an #AVM (permission given). I find working with children and young people unbelievable rewarding. I fell in love with @GreatOrmondSt the day I walked in the door.

Most cases of #Craniosynostosis are not genetic and can be corrected with single operation, but approximately 35% have a genetic form which forms part of a syndrome which can affect the face as well as other parts of the body including hands and feet. #CraniosynostosisAwareness

If the growing lines of the skull become fused then the head shape grows abnormally. In untreated cases the brain come become under pressure leading to severe headaches, fits and seizures, damage to vision and developmental delay. #CraniosynostosisAwareness

Craniosynostosis is a rare congenital condition affecting approximately 1 in 1400-2100 children causing premature or early fusion of the cranial sutures of the growing lines of the skull which normally coordinate the growth between the brain and the skull.
