Craniosynostosis, the premature ossification of one or more skull sutures, is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous congenital anomaly affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 live births. In most cases, it occurs as an isolated congenital anomaly, i.e. nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NCS), the genetic and environmental causes of which remain largely unknown. Recent data suggest that at least some of the midline NCS cases may be explained by two loci inheritance. In approximately 25–30% of patients craniosynostosis presents as a feature of a genetic syndrome due to chromosomal defects or mutations in genes within interconnected signaling pathways. The aim of this review is to provide a detailed and comprehensive update on the genetic and environmental factors associated with NCS, integrating the scientific findings achieved during the last decade. Focus on the neurodevelopmental, imaging and treatment aspects of NCS is also provided.
