Study of Eye Problems in Patients Diagnosed with Craniosynostosis

What this Trial Is About

Craniosynostosis is a condition where one or more of the skull sutures close too early, causing skull deformities. This condition affects about one in every 2,500 births and can occur as an isolated issue or as part of a syndrome. It can cause both changes in skull shape and problems with brain growth, and often leads to eye problems such as refractive errors, eye movement disorders, optic nerve damage, and sensory issues. This observational study is conducted by the Amiens University Hospital to review the eye-related clinical features in patients diagnosed with craniosynostosis. The study does not involve any treatment but focuses on collecting and analyzing medical data from patients with this condition. There are no treatment groups or interventions, as it is a retrospective study. Participants eye health will be assessed to determine rates of strabismus crossed eyes and amblyopia lazy eye over a six-month period. Researchers will also look at the frequency of intracranial hypertension, a condition of increased pressure inside the skull. The study involves gathering clinical information and monitoring eye conditions to better understand the ocular effects associated with craniosynostosis. The study is expected to run until November 2026.
