The intracranial pressure of the patients with mild form of craniosynostosis.

Introduction: While raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is a well recognized complication affecting children with syndromic craniosynostosis, certain percentage of the patients with non-syndromic craniosynostosis may have some problems related to increased ICP, such as developmental delay or visual problem. However, it is still not clear how many percent of and/or which types of craniosynostosis patients suffer from those symptoms, especially in older patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the ICP of older children with mild form of craniosynostosis to determine if any of them should be surgically treated.
