Evaluating neurodevelopment and cognition is essential to establish baseline cognitive functions in surgical procedures, guiding therapeutic and rehabilitation strategies post-surgery. This study aims to characterize the cognitive profile and neuropsychomotor development in individuals with craniosynostosis, identifying the most affected functions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional chart review that analyzed 65 individuals with craniosynostosis (39 syndromic, 26 isolated) who underwent neuropsychological assessments.

Key findings include the following: 68.4% of syndromic patients showed altered neuropsychological results; 40.7% of the isolated group demonstrated neuropsychological variations; language skills most frequently affected; fluid intelligence deficits in 45.5% of patients; motor gross impairments in 24.0%, predominantly in the isolated group.
