Craniosynostosis Prognosis (Expectations)
In the sporadic from of craniosynostosis, the post-surgical results are generally good. Craniosynostosis associated with inherited syndromes usually has less optimal outcomes, because these syndromes are also associated with seizures, developmental delay, and blindness.
Overall, the prognosis for craniosynostosis varies depending on whether single or multiple skull sutures are involved and the presence of other associated abnormalities. The prognosis is better for those with a single suture involved and no other abnormalities.
