The authors analyzed in material extending over twenty years from the neurological department of the regional paediatric hospital in Kosice the incidence of craniostenosis, focused on gypsy children, as compared with the number of population in the East Slovakian region of the gypsy ethnic group, and the incidence of the disease in non-gypsy children. Analysis revealed a relatively increased incidence of craniostenosis in children of gypsy origin--a total of 0.11% cases, while the incidence in children of non-gypsy parents was 0.01%. In both groups boys predominated over girls. In some non-gypsy children also developmental anomalies were detected which thus could be classified into syndromes. By early screening and early surgical operation it is possible to prevent inferior development of thus affected children as well as serious sequelae with a fatal outcome.
作者分析了科希策地区儿科医院神经科二十多年来的材料，重点关注吉普赛儿童颅骨狭窄症的发病率，并与东斯洛伐克地区吉普赛族的人口数量以及非吉普赛儿童的该病发病率进行比较。分析发现，吉普赛族儿童颅骨狭窄症的发病率相对较高——总计0.11%，而非吉普赛族父母的儿童发病率为0.01%。两组中男孩均多于女孩。在一些非吉普赛儿童中也检测到发育异常，因此可将其归类为综合征。通过早期筛查和早期手术，可以预防受影响儿童的发育不良以及严重的致命后遗症。
