Resumen:
Craniosynostosis is the premature closure of one or more cranial sutures
that results in an abnormal skull shape. This condition has been
associated with cognitive problems of different levels of severity in
all developmental stages in a substantial percentage of children.
However, the study of behavioral problems related to this condition has
been scarce. The objective of this study was to determine if a sample of
Mexican preschoolers with non-syndromic craniosynostosis had more
clinical and adaptive behavioral problems than those of their peers. We
assessed the behavior of 24 participants between 3 and 5 years of age
with non-syndromic craniosynostosis as well as those of 27 healthy
children. We used the Behavioral Assessment System for Children (BASC)
parent's questionnaire. There were no significant differences between
groups for any of the BASC scales, although a small proportion of
children from both groups had high, clinically significant, scores on
some of the Clinical, Adaptive and Global scales. While the relationship
between craniosynostosis and behavioral problems is not clear, it is
important to continue to assess conduct at several ages to detect
possible problems that could be overlooked by the developmental
characteristics during the preschool stage.
