This study aims to describe the craniofacial surgeries and central nervous system malformations of a cohort of children with Apert syndrome treated in the past 20 years and to compare these data with previously published data.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Methods: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Retrospective analysis of a series of patients with Apert syndrome treated between 1999 and 2019 in our hospital. Information was analyzed regarding craniofacial procedures, hydrocephalus and presence of shunts, Chiari malformation Type 1, and other brain malformations such as corpus callosum and septum pellucidum anomalies.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Thirty-seven patients were studied. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt prevalence was 24.3%, and 8.1% of patients required decompressive surgery for Chiari malformation. All of them needed at least one cranial vault remodeling procedure. The median age for this procedure was 8 months. In 69.7% of patients, the first cranial vault intervention was performed in the fronto-orbital region. In 36.4% of patients, a midface advancement had been performed at the time of this review, although this proportion was very dependent on the follow-up period and the age of the patients. The median age for the midface advancement procedure was 5.25 years. Anomalies of the corpus callosum and the septum pellucidum were reported in 43.2% and 59.5% of patients, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Apert syndrome is a type of syndromic craniosynostosis, and patients usually require one or more cranial and facial surgeries. In comparison with other syndromic craniosynostosis types, Apert syndrome less frequently requires a VP shunt or treatment for a Chiari malformation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_413_2020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,29]],"date-time":"2020-10-29T05:28:29Z","timestamp":1603949309000},"page":"361","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Apert
