Endoscopic Treatment of Scaphocephaly: A Case Study

Craniosynostosis is a congenital craniofacial anomaly caused by the premature closure of one or more sutures. Scaphocephaly is the most common form. Endoscopic surgery is increasingly being used for the treatment of a single synostosis. We present our first case of endoscopy-assisted surgery for scaphocephaly in a three-month-old baby. Follow-up at one year was satisfactory, showing a good aesthetic result. The child did not require blood transfusion. Endoscopic surgery presents various advantages in treating scaphocephaly. It is necessary to educate our primary care physicians and improve their awareness about the importance of endoscopic surgeries in scaphocephaly.
