Is surgical treatment justified in children with metopic synostosis? Irene M.J. Mathijssen (Netherlands)

If your kid is older than 12 months, this woman WILL NOT help your child. No matter how worse the deformity is. Only if there is no other option left; her team will consider performing surgery.

We are in India and My son have metopic craniosynostosis we did not opt for surgery due to lack of knowledge. He is now 5+ and his skull shape kind of improved gradually, also we did not notice any difference in his development compared to other kids in my family .. some time he is too smart and always energetic .. I am happy that's he is not different from other kids of his age but worried it might impact his future.. Till what age should I keep monitoring his activities?? His skull size is bit bigger than other kids of his age though he has trignocephaly

Don't even botber to come to Rotterdam. This woman does not seem to care about children, only her reputation.
A craniofacial team in Paris actually performed cosmetic cranial vault surgery on children beyond the age of 1. (Even in the US) While indeed the surgery is more complicated beyond the first year of Lofe the principal statys the same. The patients operated by this team (mostly adolescents) actually were very happy with the outcome,.and their overall well being improved. You cant claim that there wont be a esthetic improvement of the child's skull and face when surgery is performed after 1 year of Age.
