Description

Tais Estrela and Linda Dagi review optic nerve damage in children born with fused skull seams in a paper published in 2023. The catalog lists 2024, but the journal record in the text gives 2023. Fused seams can raise pressure inside the skull. That pressure swells and then wastes the optic nerve. Sleep apnea, odd vein growth, and a brain malformation can add to the harm.

The review walks through causes, checks, and care for the nerve damage. Eye doctors also manage crossed eyes, uneven focus, and exposure damage in these children. Their reports help decide when skull surgery must be done or redone. Early spotting of nerve swelling is the main defense against permanent sight loss.
