Head Growth and Fundoscopy as Proxies for Intracranial Pressure in Metopic Synostosis Treated Surgically vs Conservatively
In this prospective cohort of patients with metopic synostosis, signs of elevated ICP were rare and did not differ between surgical and conservative groups. Although surgery altered head growth trajectories, the low prevalence of ICP-related findings supports close monitoring and selective surgical intervention as safe alternatives to routine surgery.
