Craniosynostosis is a common cranial malformation occurring in 1 per 2,000-2,500 births. Isolated defects (nonsyndromic) occur in ~75% of cases and are thought to have multifactorial etiology. It is believed that each suture synostosis is a distinct disease, with varying phenotypes and recurrence rates.
