    Abstract:
    Fourteen cases of single and polimalformative craniosynostosis are presented. A Crouzon's syndrome, and Apert's syndrome and a Carpenter's syndrome are included. On the cranial deformities, 7 cases of scaphocephaly, 4 cases of oxycephaly and 3 cases of acrocephaly were diagnosed. The eye abnormalities, the mental retardation and the intracranial hyperpressure symptomatology were analyzed. A lineal descompresive craniectomy was performed in 10 cases. The applied surgical criterium was the appearing of intracranial hyperpressure. The postoperative results upon the clinical symptomatology and the cranial deformity are commented, showing a real improve of the hyperpressure symptoms in all the cases, a correction of the scaphocephalic defect and a lack of effect on those clinical manifestations resulting from the cerebral damming. Finally, the timing of operation is discussed.
