Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Our pediatrician sent us to the neorosurgeon at Phx Childrens after we tried repositioning and it didn't get any better. The neorsurgeon did a CT and found our daughter has a moderate case of Metopic Synostosis (Premature fusion of the bone that runs down the forehead). This has cause brachycephaly to wear her head is almost as wide in the back as it is long. Our pediatrician referred us to Hanger and the neorosurgeon referred us to Cranial Tech (at Phx Childrens). The neorosurgeon is hoping that the helmet will help to avoid surgery. We have gone to both consultations and are waiting to hear back from the insurance but we already know that Cranial Tech is not in nework so we will end up paying about half if approved. I felt more comfortable with Cranial Tech. My daughter just turned 8 months and so I am trying to decide what I am going to do if the insurance approves or denies us so that we can go ahead ASAP. Does anyone have experience with either Hanger or Cranial Tech in Arizona? Has anyone had a child in a similar situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
