RESUMO

Although neurocognitive impairment has been considered as the main argument for the surgical treatment of craniosynostosis (CS), recent studies reported subtle deficits in neurological function even in operated patients. However, the cause of these deficits remains poorly understood. This systematic review sought to examine the impact of CS on the brain microstructure, mainly on functional connectivity, and comprehensively summarize the clinical and experimental research available on this topic. A systematic review was performed considering the publications of the last 20 years in PubMed and Web of Science, including relevant human and animal studies of the types of brain-microstructure disturbances in CS. Among the 560 papers identified, 11 were selected for analysis. Seven of those were conducted in humans and 4 in animal models. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, task-based magnetic resonance imaging, and diffusion tensor imaging were the main instruments used to investigate brain connectivity in humans. The main findings were increased connectivity of the posterior segment of cingulum gyri, reduced interconnectivity of the frontal lobes, and reduced diffusivity on diffusion tensor imaging, which were associated with hyperactivity behaviors and poorer performance on neurocognitive tests. Conversely, despite the lack of evidence of brain dysfunction in animal studies, they reported a tendency toward the development of hyperactive behaviors and impairment of neurocognitive function. Skull restriction caused by CS apparently chronically increases the intracranial pressure and produces white matter injuries. The current evidence supports the contention that an early surgical approach could minimize brain-connectivity impairment in this context.
