Nonsyndromic craniosynostosis occurs when there is an early fusion of the cranial sutures in the absence of a known genetic syndrome. Traditionally, open vault remodeling has been the treatment of choice. However, in patients younger than 4-6 months, spring-mediated cranioplasty is an option for the treatment of sagittal craniosynostosis. The procedure involves minimally invasive strip craniectomy with placement of two springs and bone autograft. The spring distractors are left in for three months and subsequently removed in a second short procedure. The case highlights the work-up and management of an infant with nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis.
