title: A plea for early operation for craniosynostosis.
abstract: In times when much is written of complex craniofacial operations for synostosis, it is important to reassess the efficacy of simpler operations on the cranium when carried out in the first few weeks of life. Examples of sagittal, coronal, and lambdoid synostosis are shown, as well as one patient with multiple suture involvement.
