Abstract
The significance and etiology of abnormal skull shape have been under investigation since ancient times. Nonsyndromic, or isolated, craniosynostosis predominates and is defined as suture fusion that creates functional impairments related to local effects of the fusion. The purpose of this article is to present our current approach to patients with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis, outlining the place of both open, conventional approaches and newer, minimally invasive, endoscopic assisted craniosynostosis correction.Entities:
