About Non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis

What is Non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis?

Non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis is a type of craniosynostosis, which is a condition in which the bones of the skull fuse together too early. In non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis, the two lambdoid sutures (the sutures that run along the back of the skull) fuse together prematurely. This can cause the back of the head to become abnormally shaped and can lead to increased pressure on the brain. Treatment typically involves surgery to correct the shape of the skull and to relieve the pressure on the brain.

What are the symptoms of Non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis?

The most common symptoms of non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis include:
* An abnormally shaped head, with a flat back and sides
* A wide, flat forehead
* A wide, flat bridge of the nose
* 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

What are the causes of Non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis?

Non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis is a rare condition that is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The exact cause of the condition is unknown, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic mutations and environmental factors. Some of the genetic mutations that have been linked to non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis include mutations in the FGFR2, FGFR3, and TWIST1 genes. Environmental factors that may contribute to the condition include maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, and exposure to certain medications during pregnancy.

What are the treatments for Non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis?

1. Surgery: Surgery is the most common treatment for non-syndromic bilambdoid craniosynostosis. The goal of surgery is to reshape the skull and allow for normal brain growth. Surgery is typically performed between 3 and 6 months of age.

2. Physical Therapy: Physical therapy can help improve range of motion and strength in the neck and head. It can also help with balance and coordination.

3. Orthotic Devices: Orthotic devices, such as helmets, can be used to help reshape the skull and protect the head from further deformity.

4. Medication: Medication may be prescribed to help reduce swelling and inflammation.

What are the risk factors for Non-syndromic bilambdoid 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. Maternal diabetes
7. Maternal smoking during pregnancy
8. Maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy
9. Maternal obesity
