There are several fibrous joints that connect the bones in an infant’s skull. These joints are called sutures. When the sutures close too early, they can cause problems with brain and skull growth. Lambdoid synostosis happens when the lambdoid suture in an infant’s skull closes too soon. The surgeons at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta understand how to treat babies with craniosynostosis.
