Abstract :
Craniosynostoses is defined as a condition of premature fusion in
one or more cranial sutures leading to a number of significant
complications, mainly raised intracranial pressure which can itself
cause other neurodevelopmental complications. Copper beaten skull
appearance is a well-known presentation of craniosynostoses made by the
strong impression of the brain’s gyri on the inner layer of the skull.
It may also represent an increase in ICP. We report a 1-month-old infant
with the diagnosis of craniosynostoses, confirmed by conventional
radiologic studies and a three dimensional CT scan, presenting as copper
beaten skull appearance. After diagnosis, the patient underwent a
successful neurosurgical intervention.
