Description: The editors have assembled professional experts to introduce non-craniofacial specialists to ways they can contribute to the welfare of children with craniosynostosis, who are born with congenital deformities of the face and skull. Blindness, deafness, severe learning difficulties and facial deformities are associated problems common in severe cases. Apart from specialized craniofacial units, professionals involved in primary or secondary care have no means to cope with the many practical problems that these children present.
