Infant skull study aims to unlock secrets of craniosynostosis
NCT ID NCT07650981
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at skull bone samples from 80 infants aged 3 to 12 months who have craniosynostosis, a condition where skull bones fuse too early. Researchers will measure the bone's strength, structure, and tissue makeup both near and far from the fused area. The goal is to better understand how healthy and diseased skull bones differ, which may improve future treatments.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with craniosynostosis by a pediatric neurosurgeon. * Patients treated in the neurosurgery department of Prof. Federico Di Rocco at the Hôpital Femme Mère Enfant. * Patients aged 3 to 12 months. Exclusion Criteria: * Positional cranial deformities * History of previous cranial surgery in the parietal region (including osteotomies, implant placement, or cranioplasty). * Recent significant head trauma (\< 6 months) involving the cranial vault. * Documented metabolic bone disease (e.g., osteogenesis imperfecta, uncorrected clinical or biochemical rickets). * Severe systemic disease likely to alter bone metabolism (e.g., advanced chronic kidney disease, severe liver disease, uncontrolled endocrine disorders). * Pharmacological treatment likely to significantly alter bone composition/biomechanics within the last 6 months (e.g., prolonged systemic corticosteroids, bisphosphonates, other antiresorptive agents, chemotherapy). * Refusal by parents/guardians to participate
