What are the symptoms and signs of craniosynostosis?

The primary symptom of craniosynostosis is a misshapen skull. If babies receive early surgical treatment, they may not experience any other craniosynostosis symptoms.

Other signs of craniosynostosis include:

• No fontanelle (soft spot) on a baby’s head where the skull hasn’t closed.
• Small, hard ridge of bone that can be felt on the baby’s head.
• Face that looks uneven or asymmetrical.
