Abstract:
Cranial joint overlap (usually occurs in frontal parietal and parietal occipital joints) is one cause of craniostenosis. Cranial joint overlap is a sequela of meningeal hemorrhage and tends to occur on the children who are laid on back during treatment period for meningeal hemorrhage. To prevent, the children should be changed position during treatment period. Treatment for cranial joint overlap includes resection of overlapped joint, separating the frontal bone (or event occipital bone) from dura mater of brain and from parietal bone, corrects the bone if it was deformed
