Primary craniosynostosis is a condition that cannot be cured, but it can be treated with surgery. The goal of surgery is to reshape the skull and allow the brain to grow normally. Medications are not typically used to treat primary craniosynostosis.

1. Family history of craniosynostosis
2. Genetic syndromes associated with craniosynostosis
3. Low birth weight
4. Premature birth
5. Exposure to certain medications or drugs during pregnancy
6. Exposure to certain environmental toxins during pregnancy
7. Maternal diabetes or obesity

The primary treatment for craniosynostosis is surgery. The goal of the surgery is to reshape the skull and allow for normal brain growth. Depending on the type of craniosynostosis, the surgery may involve removing a portion of the skull, reshaping the skull, or using plates and screws to hold the skull in place. Other treatments may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to help with any developmental delays.

Primary craniosynostosis is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the development of the skull. It is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including exposure to certain medications, hormones, and toxins during pregnancy. Other possible causes include chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, and certain syndromes, such as Apert syndrome.

The most common symptoms of primary craniosynostosis include:

-A misshapen head or skull
-Bulging of the soft spot (fontanelle)
-Widely spaced eyes
-Flattening of the back of the head
-High forehead
-Prominent forehead
-Widely spaced eyes
-Flattening of the sides of the head
-Cleft palate
-Delayed development of motor skills
-Delayed development of language skills
-Delayed development of social skills
-Hearing loss
-Vision problems
-Sleep apnea
-Seizures
-Developmental delays

Primary craniosynostosis is a condition in which the bones of the skull fuse together too early, causing the head to have an abnormal shape. It can occur in one or more of the sutures (joints) of the skull, and can affect the growth of the brain and the development of the face. It is usually diagnosed in infancy and can be treated with surgery.
