    My son was born with sagittal Craniosynostosis. It was rough at first especially not knowing what we were in for. He’s three now and doing great. Just remember parents this is fixable and it gets better.

      Did he had fluids (liquid) in his head after surgery? Im worried for my nephew because he had the same surgery and they noticed liquids in his head!

      Flora Gj- no I never noticed anything like that. My son had the endoscopic surgery. And we were constantly in and out of the hospital getting him checked. If there is something wrong I’m sure they’ll catch it. Don’t worry 😉 Have a good day.

      Flora Gj- no prob. I was a mess when we got the diagnosis. Till I started doing some research “googling and RUclips” I realized this was fixable and he was going to live a normal healthy life. And I hope I can make at least one family going through this feel at ease.

      @@crujones4046 Hey, I was born with sagittal Craniosyntosis but I didn't get a surgery when I was a child and now I am a teenager. What are the others symptoms that I could have? The doctor said that I don't got nothing and it's just my skull but now it's very long and narrow. Please respond and sorry for my bad grammar.

      Mine is right down the middle 5 or so inches long.. If parting your hair in the middle was still a hair style, I'd have the perfect part! It is going to suck when I start balding and have to shave my head. Mine was done in the late 80s so my head isn't in the greatest shape..

      ​@@blouise16mine is severe and as far as I can tell my intellect and abilities weren't affected. Before I learned about the condition, I was well-adjusted, got above average grades, had normal friends, and excelled at track & field. I'm also gifted at art and see life from a creative perspective. My biggest handicap has been the emotional distress I developed after learning about the condition. I began recognizing how I'm different and observed the ways people have treated me differently throughout my life. This caused me to isolate myself from my friends and make poor decisions. It's horrible and I wish no child ever experienced this. Sadly our stories are always similar.
