was changed:
Progressive postnatal pansynostosis is a rare form of craniosynostosis characterizedcharacterised by late fusion of all cranial sutures.
This type of craniosynostosis occurs insidiously after birth and presents later in life, unlike other types of craniosynostosis which occur during the prenatal period.
The late fusion of cranial sutures means that the diagnosis is delayed and typically presents with signs of an increased intracranial pressure with a rather normal, albeit smaller than average, head size.
