Abstract:

Craniosynostosis is a common craniofacial malformation, which incidence rate ranks second in congenital
craniofacial skeletal malformations. In addition to appearance deformity and dysfunction, intracranial hypertension is also a
common complication, which may cause serious clinical consequences such as vomiting, papilledema, brain hernia, death
and so on. Therefore, early screening, risk assessment of intracranial hypertension, pathogenesis research and clinical
treatment of children with craniosynostosis are very important. In this paper, the pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnosis,
treatment, risk assessment and prevention of intracranial hypertension secondary to craniosynostosis were reviewed.
