Craniofacial Surgery

Congenital and or acquired deformities of an individual’s cranium, head, neck, face, jaws and related structures are primarily treated by pediatric neurosurgery and plastic surgery. These are the branches from which the craniofacial surgery subspecialty derived. The defects often treated by craniofacial surgery are isolated and syndromic craniosyntosis, Crouzon’s Syndrome and Apert’s Syndrome.
