Abstract

Craniosynostosis is defined as a premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. Several studies have revealed cognitive deficits in some children who had undergone surgery to treat craniosynostosis. However, no general distinction has been drawn in the cognitive abilities between the various types of craniosynostosis. The purpose of the present study was to analyze if there is a difference in cognitive and motor function among the different types of non-syndromic craniosynostosis in preschool children.Twenty-seven children with different types of non-syndromic craniosynostosis were assessed using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence – Third Edition, as well as the Quantitative, Memory and Motor scales of McCarthy Scales of Children’s Abilities (MSCA). The children were aged between 3 and 5 years and 11 months. The various types of craniosynostosis were compared.The unicoronal synostosis group performed significantly worse than the multisuture synostosis group on the MSCA Motor scale. No differences in cognitive functions were found between the various types of craniosynostosis.Children with unicoronal synostosis may experience impaired motor skills and screening of their motor ability is recommended.

不同类型非综合征性颅缝闭闭学龄前儿童的认知表现

颅缝闭锁被定义为一个或多个颅缝的过早融合。几项研究表明，一些接受过颅缝闭锁手术的儿童存在认知缺陷。然而，在不同类型的颅缝闭闭之间的认知能力没有一般的区别。本研究的目的是分析学龄前儿童不同类型的非综合征性颅缝闭闭在认知和运动功能上是否存在差异。采用韦氏学前和初级智力量表(第三版)和麦卡锡儿童能力量表(MSCA)的定量、记忆和运动量表对27例不同类型的非综合征性颅缝闭闭儿童进行了评估。这些孩子的年龄在3到5岁11个月之间。比较不同类型的颅缝闭锁。在MSCA运动量表上，单冠状缝合组的表现明显差于多缝合组。不同类型颅缝闭锁患者的认知功能无差异。患有单冠状关节闭锁的儿童可能会经历运动技能受损，建议对他们的运动能力进行筛查。

期刊介绍： The journal addresses topics related to the aetiology, epidemiology, treatment and outcomes of brain impairment with a particular focus on the implications for functional status, participation, rehabilitation and quality of life. Disciplines reflect a broad multidisciplinary scope and include neuroscience, neurology, neuropsychology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology, social work, and nursing. Submissions are welcome across the full range of conditions that affect brain function (stroke, tumour, progressive neurological illnesses, dementia, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, etc.) throughout the lifespan.
