LD24.G

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Syndromic craniosynostoses

Description

Any syndrome caused by premature fusing of sections of the infant skull. These syndromes are characterised by disfiguring compensatory growth of the skull. These syndromes may also present with frequent worsening morning headache, recurrent vomiting, cephalocranial disproportion, raised intracranial pressure, optic atrophy, blindness, or developmental delay.
