Patients with syndromic craniosynostosis have a molecularly identified genetic cause for the premature closure of their cranial sutures and associated facial and extra-cranial features. Their clinical complexity demands comprehensive management by an extensive multidisciplinary team. This review aims to marry genotypic and phenotypic knowledge with clinical presentation and management of the craniofacial syndromes presenting most frequently to the craniofacial unit at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust.
