Understanding Craniosynostosis

Craniosynostosis is a congenital condition where one or more of the sutures in a baby’s skull close prematurely, causing problems with normal brain and skull growth. This can lead to an abnormal head shape, developmental delays, and increased intracranial pressure. Understanding the unique characteristics of craniosynostosis is essential to developing an effective treatment plan. Dr. Krishna Shama Rao takes the time to thoroughly examine you, considering factors such as the type of craniosynostosis and its impact on your overall health and development.

Various Types of Craniosynostosis

Dr. Rao specializes in a variety of surgical procedures to address different types of craniosynostosis. His knowledge encompasses:

Sagittal Synostosis

This type involves the fusion of the sagittal suture, leading to a long, narrow head shape. Dr. Rao performs advanced cranial vault remodeling to correct the head shape and allow for normal brain growth.

Coronal Synostosis

Fusion of one or both coronal sutures results in an asymmetrical head shape. Dr. Rao uses techniques like fronto-orbital advancement to correct the skull and forehead shape, ensuring both functional and aesthetic improvements.

Metopic Synostosis

Fusion of the metopic suture causes a triangular forehead. Dr. Rao performs specialized surgery to expand the forehead and correct the skull shape.

Lambdoid Synostosis

This rare type involves the lambdoid suture, leading to a flat head on one side. Dr. Rao employs precise surgical techniques to correct this asymmetry.

How to Prepare for Surgery

Dr. Rao asks you and understands your situation and gives you instructions after surgery.

Dr. Rao will guide you regarding what to eat and avoid during your recovery, and also on how to handle digestive problems which may arise during this process.
  • Follow-up meetings: Regular follow-ups are scheduled to monitor progress, monitor healing, and address concerns that arise during recovery. Dr. Krishna Shamrao carefully examines and carries out, each follow-up visit modifying treatment plans as needed to ensure optimal outcomes.
