5 Medical Complications Associated with Craniostenosis
Craniostenosis is a serious birth defect characterized by a skull that has failed to develop properly, resulting in a deformed or misshapen skull. This dangerous birth defect has been linked to the pharmaceutical drug Depakote, so if you or someone you care about took Depakote while pregnant and gave birth to a child with craniostenosis, you may be able to secure compensation from the maker of this dangerous drug.
If you or a loved one gave birth to a child with craniostenosis after taking Depakote during pregnancy, do not hesitate to contact a skilled and experienced Depakote lawyer from Williams Hart at 800-761-3187 and take action against the negligent pharmaceutical company that harmed your family.
Dangerous Effects of Craniostenosis
Craniostenosis occurs when the bones in the skull fail to fuse together and develop properly, resulting in a deformed skull. While this condition can be treated and corrected with surgery, it may require multiple procedures which can be incredibly expensive, time-consuming, dangerous, and stressful for the child and his or her family. In addition, children born with craniostenosis may experience the following five complications:
- Blindness
- Severe seizures
- Upper airway obstructions
- Brain damage
- Problems with vision, hearing, and smelling
