ABSTRACT
Despite the undertaken treatment, children with nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis (NSC) are burdened with problems with speech development, visuospatial and other cognitive deficits. The electroencephalographic assessment has not influenced the diagnostics and treatment strategy of craniosynostosis so far but the introduction of quantitative EEG (QEEG) protocols renewed an interest in the functional aspect of this disease. In this study we retrospectively assessed the QEEG records of 25 children with NSC aged 1-18 months (mean age 9.62 months) before and after surgery. In each case, the amplitude, interhemispheric (ICoh) and intrahemispheric (HCoh) coherence indices were calculated. Obtained data were compared to age-matched control group of 25 normocephalic children. Children with NSC presented significantly lower values of amplitudes and intrahemispheric coherence in occipital, posterior parietal and posterior temporal regions than normocephalic children. The values of amplitudes, ICoh and HCoh in pre- and postoperative QEEG records mostly remained unchanged, with a slight improvement in HCoh in centro-parietal area. These findings suggest that NSC children present their own QEEG profile. The operative treatment improves an intrahemispheric connectivity, but there still exists a significant difference in the occipitotemporal, frontotemporal and centro-frontal areas, which may be considered as a functional substrate of reported speech and neurocognitive problems. QEEG findings in nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis.
