What is Muenke syndrome?

Also known as: craniosynostosis, syndromic craniosynostosis.

When an infant is born, the bones that make up the skull are typically not joined together fully. Muenke syndrome is a condition that results in one or more of these bones closing early (called craniosynostosis) before birth. The effects of this vary widely even within families.
