    Default multiple cranio - no syndrome

    Often we hear as parents that multiple sutures means syndrome.

    Mark had multiple closed suture - coronal and sagittal.

    He is not syndromic, has turned 2 today, talks alot for his age, has a large vocabulary.

    Runs around and plays with other kids.

    Please dont worry too much about your kids, they are more resilient and heal so much faster than you can ever imagine.

    I know its easy for me to say all this now that we are so far on the other side.

    But it does get easier.

    Hi there, my daughter also has multiple sutures fused - metopic and coronal and her genetic tests were all clear and no syndrome associated.

    Thanks Mark's Dada. My little girl has bilateral lambdoid sagittal synostosis and so far we can't find any syndromes either. She also has a split uvula - but again, we can't seem to determine a syndrome. Four genetic tests down and two to go...
    We're hoping to have another baby but we're scared (of course).
    Ava is 10 months old, starting to walk a bit, babbling like crazy and climbing the dog regularly!! Thank you. Your video made me cry (in a good and hope-filled way).
