Abstract

Craniosynostosis has been previously reported in patients with Williams syndrome. Due to the associated significant cardiovascular anomalies, with an attendant increased risk of death under anaesthesia, most patients have been managed conservatively. Here we report the multidisciplinary approach in a 12-month-old female infant with Williams syndrome who has metopic and sagittal craniosynostosis. The child successfully underwent calvarial remodelling procedures, with the clinical outcome demonstrating dramatically improved global development after surgery.
