Kendall's Craniosynostosis Story

[mtguardanapos]

The needed to remove the fused bone and reshape her "keel"(boat) shaped skull to a more round shape. (Cranial Vault Reconstruction). The main signs were the ridge and the fact that her head circumference basically didn't change from birth, and the boat shape. I thought she was perfect...a mother's love is blind they say. :) She's doing so great now! I will post an update video soon! I'm registering her for Kindergarten soon! CRAZY!

Kendall's head certainly appeared close to normal when she was an infant as she had a mild case. However her sagittal suture was fused meaning her head would continue to grow long and narrow, possibly inhibiting the growth of her brain and causing intra-cranial pressure. She had a ridge along the top of her head (front to back), a "bossing" forehead and very narrow occipital bone (the back of her skull fit perfectly in just the palm of my hand, it was so tiny.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I was under the assumption that this had to do with a misshapen head? Your daughter's head shape before surgery appeared "normal"...Were there other signs? Is this even what Craniosynostosis means? Thanks!

Thank you for posting this video. Our daughter was just diagnosed with this recently and she is 2 months old. I never heard of this before her being diagnosed. Our daughter is also going to have the surgery within the next month. This is very hard for us but seeing a video like this gives us hope for her future. I wish you all the best, your little girl is lucky to have you both.

Your daughter is gorgeous! My daughter is suspected to have craniosynostosis.  We meet with a neurosurgeon tomorrow to find out for sure. I appreciate everyone on youtube who has shared their experiences with this condition. Thanks!
