In most cases, surgery in the first year of life will effectively correct it and the child can go on to expect a typical life. For a minority, craniosynostosis is part of a syndrome, which is a lifelong condition. This practical guide explains how craniosynostosis develops and the evidence-based, best-practice treatments.  It also includes the lived experience of families.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe writing of Craniosynostosis was led by Dr. Ruth Barta, MD, Craniofacial and Pediatric Plastic Surgeon at Gillette Children’s, a world-renowned center of excellence for the treatment of brain, bone, and movement conditions.
