Patient's question:
Uncle originally had cranial polycephaly, and he has always felt severe pain and discomfort in his head. Lately, his condition hasn't been improving, and it's very uncomfortable for him to sleep at night. How can cranial polycephaly be confirmed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, so far, the etiology of this disease remains unclear, and there is no satisfactory explanation. Some scholars have found that this disease has a familial tendency, suggesting a genetic association. The lesions are often concentrated in the coronal suture or the ossification of multiple bone sutures. Some scholars refer to the cranial suture ossification present from birth and of unknown cause as primary craniosynostosis, while they term the early cranial suture ossification secondary to other systemic diseases as secondary craniosynostosis, such as early cranial suture ossification observed in patients with cretinism accompanied by excessive use of thyroid hormone replacement therapy. It is best to consult further for specifics.
