ABSTRACT

Introduction: Craniosynostosis is the simple early closure of one or more cranial sutures that causes abnormal growth of the skull and that can lead to abnormal growth of the brain. The treatment of craniosynostosis is surgical and eliminates growth restriction caused by the fused suture. Neurodevelopmental assessments in these patients have generated inconsistent results, with some authors reporting normal scores and other data showing psychomotor and cognitive delay.
Objective: To determine if Battelle Developmental Inventory detects a delay in the acquisition of neuropsychological processes in patients afflicted with craniosynostosis and evaluate if surgical manipulation improvestheir neuropsychological development.
Methods: We evaluated 8 children diagnosed with craniosynostosis and compared with 8 normal kids between 1 and 12 months old, by means of the Battelle Developmental Inventory before surgery, and to 5 patients reevaluated3 months after surgery to test their neuropsychological improvement.
Results: Children with craniosynostosis had significantly lower scores in the Battelle Developmental Inventory, as compared with clinically healthy children. After comparing the pre and postoperative Battellescores, it was found that overall scores improved in the postoperative assessment.
Conclusions: The Battelle Developmental Inventory allowed the detection of delayed developmental skills in children with craniosynostosis, as well as changes related to surgical correction.
