Craniosynostosis is an extremely serious congenital defect. It is a cranial defect and is caused by the use of the Paxil during pregnancy. Many women have taken Paxil during their pregnancies and many women gave birth to infants with the craniosynostosis defect. It is a very serious side effect that leads to a very abnormal looking skull in the newborn baby. Such a problem is caused when the baby's skull sutures closed much earlier than would otherwise be typical. This ultimately results in an abnormally shaped skull.
A suture is a
connection that ties up the many different skull bones in a developing fetus or
new born human being. Cranial helmet New Jersey
take a long time to close and this is an evolutionary mechanism that allows the
head to be shaped and formed into the normal ovular shape that is common
amongst individuals. When the sutures close prematurely it not only affects the
shape of the skull but it also serves to put a roadblock in the way of proper
cranial (i.e. Brain) formation and development.
Craniosynostosis treatment New
Jersey tends to stop growing in places where the sutures
have closed and because of this expands further in places where they are still
open. This tends to pull the skull into a very elongated shape with emphasis on
the areas where sutures are still open. Additionally this abnormal development
might result in the build-up of excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain cavity,
thereby complicating things further.
