Craniosynostosis: Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Management

Suitable for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, paediatricians, pathologists, health and social workers.

Craniosynostosis, the early fusion of skull sutures, is a serious abnormality of infancy and childhood. Because dramatic changes have occurred in the field, particularly in molecular biology, this new edition has been rewritten and new chapters have been added on the growth of sutures, craniofacial surgery, and epidemiology and clinical correlations. The molecular basis of craniosynostosis, with emphasis on fibroblast growth receptors, and recent research on postnatal growth and the craniofacial complex, will be discussed in detal. Many new syndromes have been delineated, the established conditions have been redefined. "Not Available" "Not Available"
