Craniofacial Anomalies

As a pediatric neurosurgeon at Children's Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) in New York, I perform surgeries to treat a wide range of congenital anomalies affecting the nervous system and related structures. Below is a list of congenital anomalies that my team can help fix:

1. Craniosynostosis: Surgical correction of premature fusion of cranial sutures to reshape the skull and promote normal brain growth.

2. Craniofacial Clefts: Repair of clefts or gaps in the facial bones, often involving the orbits, nose, and upper jaw.

3. Frontonasal Dysplasia: Surgical correction of midline facial anomalies, including wide separation of the eyes (hypertelorism) and other abnormalities.

4. Apert Syndrome: Procedures to address craniosynostosis, as well as facial and hand abnormalities.

5. Crouzon Syndrome: Surgical interventions for craniosynostosis and midface abnormalities.

6. Pfeiffer Syndrome: Correction of craniosynostosis and associated facial deformities.

7. Treacher Collins Syndrome: Repair of facial anomalies involving the lower eyelids, cheekbones, and jaw.

8. Goldenhar Syndrome: Surgical repair of facial and cranial anomalies, including ear deformities.

9. Binder Syndrome: Correction of congenital nasal anomalies resulting in a flattened appearance.

10. Plagiocephaly: Non-surgical (rarely surgical) reshaping of the skull to correct asymmetry, often involving the flattening of one side.

11. Metopic Ridge: Removal of an abnormal ridge along the forehead.

12. Cranial Defects: Surgical repair of cranial defects resulting from trauma, infection, or congenital abnormalities.

13. Facial Fractures and facial trauma: Surgical treatment of facial fractures involving the skull or facial bones.

14. Craniofacial Tumors: Removal of tumors affecting the skull or facial bones.

15. Congenital Vascular Anomalies: Surgical treatment of vascular malformations affecting the face and skull.
