What is Brachycephaly?
Brachycephali is a type of skull deformity in which the skull seems relatively wide, with a reduced depth between the front and rear of the skull. In addition to looking unusual, this deformity can potentially disrupt the intermediate pressure and brain development, which is dangerous. For this reason, most people decide to treat brachycephaly. Initially, the skull may look normal, but over time it does not develop evenly. Parents may notice that children have unusually shaped heads and doctors can take note of the abnormal development of the skull and design testing to determine the cause of the unusual shape of the head. The first is craniosynostosis, in which one or more skull stitches were closed prematurely. When people are born rather than be solid, the skull is made of several moving bones. These bone pieces gradually connect the brain room growth and eventually connect into a solid skull. The connection between the bone pieces is known as "stitches". In the case of brachycephalia, coronal stitches of Leb fuses areKY too early, which prevents the skull growing normally.
The closely related condition is plagiocelala, in which only one of the coronal stitches connects too early. Children with this condition develop swelling on one side of the head. The skull can also develop an extended shape in the Scaphocephaly, caused by premature fusion of sagittal batch.
The treatment of brachycephalia caused by premature closure of coronal stitches is surgery to break down the stitches again, giving the brain more space for growth. Surgery is performed when a child is less than one year of age, and for the patient it carries some risks, including risks that accompany nuti anesthesia to reduce pain and discomfort to the patient.
Brachycephali may also be a positional deformity caused by the child too much on his back. It is recommended to sleep on the back to reduce the risk of sudden infant death (SIDS), but it can lead to semiHot deformities due to pressure on the skull, causing it to develop unevenly. Solving position deformity may include waiting access and seeing, along using padding to relieve pressure on the skull. In extreme cases, the child may have to wear a helmet for several months, helping to develop the skull evenly.
