Apert Syndrome with Combination of Synostosis: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 06
Abstract
Apert syndrome is a rare condition affecting the skull, face, hands and feet due to premature closure of cranial sutures. This case report describes a 6-month-old boy with Apert syndrome presenting with an abnormal head shape. A CT scan revealed craniosynostosis (fused sutures) of both the coronal and lambdoid sutures. Surgery involved removing a 1-2 cm section of the fused sutures along the coronal suture and across the lambdoid suture. After 4 months, the boy showed improvement in both clinical appearance and imaging scans. While Apert syndrome is typically classified based on the suture involved, the specific timing of surgery depends on various factors. This case demonstrates that minimally invasive surgery can be effective with minimal complications. Even though unilateral coronal and lambdoid suture fusion in Apert syndrome is uncommon, it can still be successfully treated with surgery.
