Key Points

The aim is to examine the association between surgical intervention timing and executive functions in children with craniosynostosis.
Observational study design
Assessment of executive functions in daily activities
Comparison of early vs late surgical intervention
No significant difficulties in executive functions were noted in daily activities
Late surgery is linked to lower scores in certain cold executive functions
Early surgical intervention may offer neurodevelopmental advantages

Abstract

This study did not find substantial difficulties in executive functions in daily activities in participants with non-syndromic craniosynostosis, but it did find an association between late surgery and lower scores in some cold executive functions. The study suggests that early surgical intervention could have a potential neurodevelopmental benefit for children and adolescents with craniosynostosis.
