but what really happens?..why this kids are like this?..it is a genetically problem or what?.is this hereditary?

[kimmscott]

Craniofacial abnormalities are congenital conditions, in some cases they are hereditary. Also, the Foundation helps those with head and face traumatic injuries.

ce n'est pas parceke il sont deformer kil son debile moi je dirai kil son comme tou le monde est kil son bo oui il son bo a linterieur si on ne les aime pas comme il son c ke franchemen on saime soi meme est personne dautre

English translation: It isn't because they are deformed that they are unable to live well. For myself, I would say that they are like everyone else and they are beautiful -- yes, beautiful on the inside. If one doesn't love them as they are, then truly it must because one loves only oneself and nobody else.

These Dr.'s that make it their lifes work to help these kids are angels, sent straight from heaven. My son was born with Craniosynostosis (Metopic) and his Dr. was/is a true sculptor and wonderful human being. My son's deformity was corrected, his brain was given room to grow properly and he's doing wonderfully. God bless all the Dr.'s that do this and do it well!! They change lives forever!!

I'm pretty sure the little girl had Crouzon syndrome, which is what Brian Peppers became famous for. I hate to say this, but I've heard the results of corrective surgery for Crouzon aren't as dramatic as they were for the two boys. There are multiple problems with the shape of the skull, involving the eyes, mid-face, jaw, braincase, everything. It takes multiple surgeries to correct. The most important thing at her age would be to relieve pressure on her brain to prevent retardation.
