Obstet Gynecol Surv
October 2020
Importance: Craniosynostosis is a fetal condition caused by premature closure of the cranial sutures. Through provider awareness, we can raise suspicion in high-risk individuals, increase prenatal detection, optimize genetic testing, perform appropriate antenatal surveillance and delivery planning, and allow for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment.
Objective: The aim of this study was to review what is currently known regarding the genetics, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of craniosynostosis for the obstetric care provider.
Article Synopsis
- - Pearly penile papules (PPP) are harmless growths that usually appear on the penis during teenage years or early adulthood, often causing worry due to their similarity to STIs.
- - They have a distinct appearance with uniform, dome-shaped bumps arranged in rows around the glans penis, and there is no link between PPP and sexually transmitted infections.
- - Treatment is typically only recommended for those who are overly concerned, and options like cryotherapy and laser therapy are effective with low chances of reappearance.
