Craniosynostosis: Fitz’s Story
When Fitz was born, it was obvious that his skull was misshapen. By 5 weeks old, Fitz had been diagnosed with craniosynostosis. Fitz’s parents met with pediatric neurosurgeon Eric Jackson, who performed a minimally invasive surgery to remove the fused bone, letting Fitz’s skull expand.
