It's an observational study. Purpose of the study: To evaluate the neuromotor development of scaphocephaly cases.
21 infants diagnosed with scaphocephaly aged 2-17 months were included.
Denver-II Developmental Screening Test and Alberta Motor Infant Scale were applied to the participants.
Scaphocephaly (sagittal synostosis) is the most common single-suture craniosynostosis. It occurs as a result of premature ossification of the fibrous connective tissue extending between two parietal bones (sagittal suture). Phenotypically, a long and narrow head shape occurs. It occurs in 2-3 per 10,000 live births and is more common in men.
Premature ossification of the sagittal suture can lead to cranial deformity, potentially cranial growth restriction, and resulting increased intracranial pressure. In these cases, increased intracranial pressure and compression of the sagittal sinus cause increased venous pressure, which may cause developmental delays. These delays most commonly include cognitive impairments, language disorders, motor delays, learning disabilities, executive dysfunction, and behavioral problems.
When looking at the literature, it was seen that the studies were mostly on neurocognitive development in cases with craniosynostosis. There are relatively fewer studies focusing on the neuromotor development of these cases.
This study aims to evaluate the neuromotor development of scaphocephaly cases.

| Denver-II Developmental Screening Test | It's a screening test used in children aged 0-6 years. The test is done in a short time like 5-20 min. The person who will administer the Denver-II test; must be trained and certified. Standardized test materials are used. The test consists of 4 sections and 134 items. There are personal-social, language, fine motor and gross motor sections. The test result is classified as Normal-Abnormal-Suspicious. | baseline |
| Alberta Infant Motor Scale | It's used to observe gross motor functions and evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in typically developing infants between 0-18 months. The duration of the test is 10 min and consists of 58 items. The child's spontaneous movements are evaluated in 4 different positions without touching the child. 1 point is taken for each item that can be done. A table containing the mean and standard deviation for each month is used. The test result is classified as Normal-Abnormal-Suspicious. | baseline |
