The treatment of bilateral coronal synostosis shows a high degree of overlap with treatment of unilateral coronal synostosis; in both surgical interventions is the forward advancement of the supraorbital rim together with the frontal bones is an important part of the procedure.
The treatment of Muenke syndrome is focused on the correction of the abnormal skull shape and mirrors the treatment of coronal craniosynostosis. The abnormal growth patterns continue throughout the growing years; therefore, intervention, accurate diagnosis, and a customized, expertly carried-out treatment plan should be a primary concern.
Craniosynostosis and dental anomalies (CRSDA, also known as Kreiborg-Pakistani syndrome) is an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by craniosynostosis, maxillary hypoplasia, and dental anomalies. Dental anomalies seen in this condition include malocclusion, delayed and ectopic tooth eruption, and/or supernumerary teeth.
Craniosynostosis, a condition in which the sutures of the head (joints between the bones of the skull) prematurely fuse and subsequently alter the shape of the head, is seen in multiple conditions, as listed below. The level of involvement varies by condition and can range from minor, single-suture craniosynostosis to major, multisutural ...
Acrocephalosyndactyly is usually diagnosed after birth, although prenatal diagnosis is sometimes possible if the genetic variation is present in family members, as the conditions are typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern [1] Treatment often involves surgery in early childhood to correct for craniosynostosis [7] and syndactyly.

craniosynostosis – an abnormal fusion of two or more cranial bones; radioulnar synostosis – the abnormal fusion of the radius and ulna bones of the forearm; tarsal coalition – a failure to separately form all seven bones of the tarsus (the hind part of the foot) resulting in an amalgamation of two bones; and
Scaphocephaly or sagittal craniosynostosis is a type of cephalic disorder which occurs when there is a premature fusion of the sagittal suture. Premature closure results in limited lateral expansion of the skull , resulting in a characteristic long, narrow head. [ 1 ]
Treatment Surgery [ 3 ] Jackson–Weiss syndrome ( JWS ) is a genetic disorder characterized by foot abnormalities and the premature fusion of certain bones of the skull ( craniosynostosis ), which prevents further growth of the skull and affects the shape of the head and face.
