Three children who developed pancraniosynostosis after surgery to correct nonsyndromic single suture synostosis (2 sagittal, 1 unilateral coronal) were noted on prolonged follow-up to have a decreased rate of head growth, and beaten copper findings on plain radiographs of the skull. All had elevated intracranial pressure as recorded by lumbar puncture. The children were reoperated, and then cranial growth resumed, and the radiographic abnormalities resolved. Because of the risk of pancraniosynostosis after surgery for single suture craniosynostosis, extended neurosurgical follow-up for patients with craniosynostosis is warranted.
三名在接受非综合征性单缝早闭（2例矢状缝、1例单侧冠状缝）矫正手术后出现全颅缝早闭的儿童，在长期随访中被发现头部生长速率降低，颅骨平片显示有“ beaten copper”表现。所有患儿经腰椎穿刺记录均有颅内压升高。这些儿童接受了再次手术，随后颅骨生长恢复，影像学异常消失。鉴于单缝颅缝早闭手术后存在全颅缝早闭的风险，对颅缝早闭患者进行长期的神经外科随访是必要的。
