Abstract
Pediatric patients with craniofacial abnormalities face unique challenges requiring early intervention and longitudinal care for their ocular and systemic problems. Non-syndromic and syndromic craniosynostoses involve asymmetric development of the cranial vault and facial bones, which frequently leads to ophthalmic manifestations, including strabismus, refractive error, and visual field losses. In recent years, ophthalmologists, craniofacial surgeons, and pediatricians involved in caring for craniosynostosis patients have found that timely surgery and monitoring, using refined devices such as spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, can lead to improved quality of life and prognosis for these patients. We review relevant literature from the past 5 years describing and managing ocular symptoms of craniosynostosis.
