Short Report: Craniosynostosis, A Late Complication Of Nutritional Rickets
JOURNAL OF PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM(2021)
Abstract
Objectives: Nutritional rickets may be a preventable cause of craniosynostosis. This potential association is under-recognised. A late diagnosis of craniosynostosis may result in reduced brain growth, raised intracranial pressure and long-term psychosocial problems.Case presentation: We present four cases of craniosynostosis associated with nutritional rickets. Those who had delayed presentation underwent emergency craniotomy.Conclusions: Treatment of nutritional rickets and early identification of craniosynostosis can reduce morbidity in these children.
