Cranial vault reconstruction is surgery designed expansion and remodeling procedure performed when a child has craniosynostosis, or the premature closing of the sutures of the skull.

The cranial vault is the space within the skull that contains the brain. Cranial vault reconstruction is exactly what the name implies. At BSSNY, a multidisciplinary team comprised of a pediatric neurosurgeon and a craniofacial surgeon will remodel or reshape the bones of the skull expanding and enlarging the space within the vault to allow room for your child’s brain to grow while attempting to restore a more natural appearance to the skull.
