CT Scan to determine if skull bones are fused (plagiosynostosis)

[Guest guest]

Our doctor, Dr. Pomerantz at the UCSF craniofacial anomolies center, is

concerned that our 5 month old son's skull plates might be fused

(plagiosynostosis). We are scheduled to have a CT scan next friday. He will

have to be under anesthesia so he doesn't move. They said the scan will last

about an hour. Needless to say we are nervous about all of this. It's

difficult to wait over a week to find out.

I'm wondering....

Has anyone else gone through this procedure with anesthesia?

Is anyone familiar with Dr. Pomerantz or the UCSF craniofacial anomolies center?

Has anyone had to have surgery to correct the fused plates?

Thanks,
