Cranio is a Python package used for force measurements, data analysis and visualization in posterior calvarial vault osteodistraction (PCVO). PCVO is used to treat patients with craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis is a condition occurring in infants where bones in the skull are prematurely fused resulting in abnormal head shape, decreased intracranial volume (ICV) and increased intracranial pressure (ICP). Fibrous sutures bones of the skull are prematurely fused by turning into bone. This prevents the skull from growing perpendicular to the ossified suture which is compensated by increased growth parallel to the fused suture. The features of craniosynostosis are determined by which sutures are closed. In some case, the resulting growth pattern only leads to abnormal head shape while leaving enough room for the brain inside the skull. In other cases, in addition to abnormal head shape, intracranial volume is decreased leading to elevated intracranial pressure. Elevated ICP can cause headache, vomiting, visual impairment (e.g., papilledema), obstructive sleep apnea and neurobehavioral impairment. Cranisynostosis affects 1/2000 infants and usually occurs as an isolated condition. In 15% - 40% of cases craniosynostosis is part of a syndrome. Craniosynostosis can be treated with calvarial vault reconstruction/remodeling (CVR) or posterior calvarial vault osteodistraction (PCVO). General description on PCVO goes here...
