The integral role of neurosurgery in managing rare craniofacial anomalies
Hazem A Mostafa
Ain Shams University, Egypt
C raniofacial anomalies are rare complex pathologies which needs a craniofacial team composed of neurosurgeon,
a craniofacial plastic surgeon, and an ophthalmologist. Anomalies at craniofacial region either due to developmental
malformation of the brain (neural tube defects) or the premature closure of cranial or skull base sutures resulting in skull
deformities and problems in normal physiological neurological development. Each of pathologies needs special neurological
surgery management, sometimes the management is multi-staged. Neurosurgical management varied from diagnosis, the
surgical procedures and long-term follow up. Hence, we describe the pathology of craniofacial anomalies and its associated
syndromes in addition to the proper investigation needed for diagnoses and predict possible short and long-term complication.
Also, what craniofacial anomalies care giver should be focusing on regarding neurological issues such as intra-cranial pressure
early detection and treatment if high and optic nerve problems. Also, dural repair, dealing with brain parenchyma and its
vasculature, and better cosmetic outcome according to craniofacial metrics.
