cranial vault remodeling

Cranial vault remodeling is a delicate surgical procedure used to reshape the bones of a child's skull to improve its shape and size. Often performed to correct craniosynostosis—a condition where the skull bones fuse too early—it involves carefully making incisions in the skull, removing or reshaping bone sections, and then repositioning them to create a more natural skull contour. This surgery helps prevent increased intracranial pressure and promotes normal brain growth. The procedure requires precise planning and skill to ensure a safe outcome with improved appearance and function.
