Craniosynostosis is associated with elevated ICP,
however its physiological effects are largely unknown.
We studied the effects of craniosynostosis on cerebral
perfusion using pseudocontinuous ASL. Focal regions of
apparent hyperemia were detected, suggesting either
metabolic abnormalities or a decrease in CSF space.
