Diagnose and correct Brentley's craniosynostosis. The birth defect occurs when sutures -- fibrous connections between the bones in an infant's skull -- fuse together before the brain is done growing.Infants with craniosynostosis (pronounced kray-nee-oh-sin-os-TOE-sis) have abnormally shaped heads.

Surgery corrects the head's shape and relieves pressure and gives the brain room to grow.
