Determining the fate of cranial sutures after surgical correction of non-syndromic craniosynostosis

"Secondary craniosynostosis" (SCS) refers to a loss of sutures after corrective vault reconstruction. There are no prior studies that comprehensively review SCS in various types of non-syndromic craniosynostosis. We assessed idiopathic and iatrogenic SCS using 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT). We also performed a systematic review to estimate the overall incidence of SCS in each craniosynostosis type, and to characterize its clinical features.
