Abstract
A number of congenital and acquired conditions can affect the skull, face and jaws resulting in a wide range of craniofacial abnormalites that commonly present at birth or in early infancy. This article aims to outline the aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and principles of management of those conditions that commonly present to a craniofacial unit namely the craniosynostoses.
