Older children who have been recently diagnosed with craniosynostosis are not candidates for an endoscopic surgery. However, many children who we see as second opinions, or who had delayed diagnoses, do quite well with cranial reconstruction at an older age. Parents may have concerns about the scar on the scalp after an open surgery, but in our experience, the scar is really not very noticeable.
Please call 973-326-9000 and ask to schedule an appointment if your child has or may have craniosynostosis. We are happy to provide second opinions and we can accommodate telehealth visits as well.
