1. Neuropsychological outcomes and health-related quality of life of children operated for nonsyndromic craniosynostosis
Sammanfattning : The primary aim of this thesis was to assess the intelligence quotient, attention function, adaptive behavior skills, and health-related quality of life of children operated for nonsyndromic craniosynostosis. The secondary aim was to evaluate whether surgical methods for treating sagittal synostosis were related to the outcomes. LÄS MER
2. Craniofacial malformations and psychiatric disorders from a neurodevelopmental perspective
Sammanfattning : Orofacial clefts (OFC) and craniosynostosis (CS) are the two most common craniofacial malformations. Of note, craniofacial abnormalities share some overlapping risk factors with psychiatric disorders. Thus, this thesis aimed to study psychiatric and educational outcomes in this group. LÄS MER
