Summary

This study aimed to understand how craniosynostosis (early skull bone fusion) and corrective surgery impact brain development in children up to 4 years old. Researchers used brain scans and developmental tests to compare children with the condition to healthy controls. The study was terminated early with only 9 participants, so findings are limited.
