Learn About Craniosynostosis Autosomal Dominant

What is the definition of Craniosynostosis Autosomal Dominant?
Craniosynostosis that is autosomal dominant is a genetic condition (inherited from a parent) in which the bones of the skull in an infant close too early. In newborns, the skull is made up of plates of bone that have flexible joints called sutures that close as infants grow. Craniosynostosis occurs when the sutures of the skull close prematurely, which causes pressure to build up inside the head, along with a misshapen skull.
What are the symptoms of Craniosynostosis Autosomal Dominant?
Symptoms of craniosynostosis that is autosomal dominant may include asymmetry (unevenness) of the head and face, a bulging soft spot on the top of head (fontanelle), an enlarged head, lethargy, bulging scalp veins, irritability, high-pitched cry, poor feeding, projectile vomiting, and delayed development.

What are the current treatments for Craniosynostosis Autosomal Dominant?
Treatment for craniosynostosis that is autosomal dominant depends on which skull sutures are involved. Craniosynostosis usually requires surgery unless the condition is very mild. Some infants may be able to wear special helmets designed to reshape the skull, and some may need evaluation for developmental and learning delays. Parents who carry the autosomal dominant gene for craniosynostosis should consider genetic counseling.
