摘要：Craniostenosis is rare but important clinical condition characterized by early fusion of skull suture causing restriction of growth of developing brain and ultimately arrest of brain growth. It is a cause of acquired mental retardation, which can be avoided and prevented by early diagnosis and early surgical intervention as delay causes irreversible loss of vision and permanent cognitive impairment. So all physicians should be made aware of this rare congenital deformity. Authors report a neglected case of craniostenosis, presented with deformity of head with mental retardation, which was operated after delay lead to poor neurological outcome.
