[Craniosynostosis and strabismus].

Craniosynostosis(CS), the premature fusion of cranial sutures leading to an abnormal shape and precocious maturity of skull, is classified into Non-syndromic Craniosynostosis (NSC) and Syndromic Craniosynostoses(SC).NCS only has different abnormality of skull according to which cranial suture is involved while extra malformation of midface and limbs present in SCS. Common SCS contains Crouzon Syndrome, Apert Syndrome, Pfeiffer Sydrome, and etc. The clinical manifestation of CS includes malformation of skull, intracranial hypertension, brain hernia, developmental disorder of cerebral function, strabismus, and etc, while SCS has more complex manifestation. Along with the improvement of multidisciplinary cooperation, the ophthalmic complication of CS, like strabismus, is recognised by oculists gradually. This review is summarizing the clinical manifestation, complicated strabismus, pathogenesis and multidisciplinary cure of CS. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2016, 52: 626-630).
