Description

Michail Palaios and four co-authors review what is known about brain surface changes in craniosynostosis, in a 2024 paper. In this condition, a baby's skull bones fuse too early. The review covers both forms tied to syndromes and forms that stand alone.

The team searched the medical literature and kept 16 solid studies. Syndromic cases showed odd temporal and frontal lobes, thinner cortex, and simpler folding. Other cases showed changed nerve links and grey matter volume. Two rival ideas try to explain the link. One blames skull shape for warping the brain. The other says brain flaws come first and fuse the skull. The data cannot yet settle the question.
