Abstract
Nonsyndromic lambdoid craniosynostosis is a significantly rare type of craniosynostosis where one of the lambdoid sutures fuses prematurely. This craniofacial anomaly is most often diagnosed before the age of 12 months and therefore early treatment is important to prevent neurological dysfunction, developmental delay, further facial anomalies, as well as disturbances with the optic nerve therefore affecting the eyes. This is managed by performing a posterior open cranial vault reconstruction surgery as well as a lambdoid occipital reconstruction. We report a rare case of non syndromic right lambdoid craniosynostosis in a 19 months old girl.
