About Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis

What is Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis?

Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis is a type of craniosynostosis, which is a condition in which the bones of the skull fuse together too early. In this type of craniosynostosis, the bones of the skull fuse together in two places: the coronal sutures (which run from ear to ear) and the sagittal suture (which runs from front to back). This can cause the head to become misshapen and can lead to developmental delays and other health problems. Treatment typically involves surgery to separate the fused bones and reshape the skull.

What are the symptoms of Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis?

The most common symptoms of non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis include:

• An abnormally shaped head
* A wide, flat forehead
* A narrow, pointed head
* A wide, flat back of the head
* A prominent ridge along the top of the head
* A wide, flat area between the eyes
* A wide, flat area at the back of the head
* A wide, flat area at the sides of the head
* A wide, flat area at the front of the head
* A wide, flat area at the base of the skull
* A wide, flat area at the back of the neck
* A wide, flat area at the sides of the neck
* A wide, flat area at the front of the neck
* A wide

What are the causes of Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis?

Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors include mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene, which is responsible for regulating the growth of the skull. Environmental factors include maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, and exposure to certain medications during pregnancy.

What are the treatments for Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis?

Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis are typically treated with surgery. The goal of the surgery is to reshape the skull and allow for normal brain growth. The surgery is usually done in infancy, and may involve removing a portion of the skull and using plates and screws to reshape the skull. In some cases, a helmet may be used to help reshape the skull after surgery. In addition to surgery, physical and occupational therapy may be recommended to help with any developmental delays or motor skill issues that may arise.

What are the risk factors for Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis?

1. Family history of craniosynostosis
2. Premature birth
3. Low birth weight
4. Exposure to certain medications or drugs during pregnancy
5. Exposure to radiation during pregnancy
6. Genetic mutations or chromosomal abnormalities
7. Maternal diabetes
8. Maternal smoking during pregnancy

Is there a cure/medications for Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis?

Non-syndromic bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostosis is a type of craniosynostosis, which is a condition in which the bones of the skull fuse together too early. Treatment for this condition typically involves surgery to reshape the skull and allow for normal brain and skull growth. Medications are not typically used to treat this condition.
