Brain scans reveal how skull surgery affects young Children's neural pathways

NCT ID NCT04072783

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how craniosynostosis—a condition where a baby's skull bones fuse too early—affects brain development. Researchers used special MRI scans and developmental tests to compare children with the condition before and after skull surgery to healthy children of the same age. The goal was to understand changes in brain wiring and growth, but the study was stopped early and only enrolled 9 participants, so results are limited.
