Résumé
Children with metopic synostosis have been found to have more neurocognitive and behavioral difficulties. The variables that may affect future neurodevelopmental outcomes, including presenting morphologic severity, have not been fully studied. In the largest study to date, we aimed to assess what portends worse neurocognitive and behavioral outcomes at school age. Children 6-18 years old with surgically corrected metopic nonsyndromic craniosynostosis underwent neurocognitive testing. Parents completed behavior rating surveys about their child: Conners-3 (ADHD), Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (autism spectrum disorder), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-2 (BRIEF-2: executive function), and Child's Behavior Checklist (overall behavior). The endocranial bifrontal angle (EBA), adjusted EBA (aEBA), frontal angle (FA), and AI-derived metopic severity score (MSS) were determined on pre-operative CT images. Multivariate linear regressions were used to evaluate the association of age at surgery and severity. There were 87 children who underwent neurocognitive testing (average age 10.9 ± 3.3 years) of whom 67 also completed behavioral assessments. Greater phenotypical severity of metopic synostosis (lower FA, aEBA, and EBA) was associated with worse scores on the subscales of the BRIEF-2 (executive function) and executive subscale of the Conners-3. Increasing age at surgery was associated with worse executive function subscale scores of the Conners-3 when controlling for each severity measurement and sociodemographic risk. Children with greater phenotypic severity of metopic synostosis have worse executive function at school age. The majority of children with metopic synostosis have signs of ADHD. Later surgeries (greater than 12 months) may impact executive functioning, regardless of the degree of severity. Future research should aim at identifying the direct structural changes to the brain.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Children with metopic synostosis have been found to have more neurocognitive and behavioral difficulties. The variables that may affect future neurodevelopmental outcomes, including presenting morphologic severity, have not been fully studied. In the largest study to date, we aimed to assess what portends worse neurocognitive and behavioral outcomes at school age.
METHODS
METHODS
Children 6-18 years old with surgically corrected metopic nonsyndromic craniosynostosis underwent neurocognitive testing. Parents completed behavior rating surveys about their child: Conners-3 (ADHD), Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (autism spectrum disorder), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-2 (BRIEF-2: executive function), and Child's Behavior Checklist (overall behavior). The endocranial bifrontal angle (EBA), adjusted EBA (aEBA), frontal angle (FA), and AI-derived metopic severity score (MSS) were determined on pre-operative CT images. Multivariate linear regressions were used to evaluate the association of age at surgery and severity.
RESULTS
RESULTS
There were 87 children who underwent neurocognitive testing (average age 10.9 ± 3.3 years) of whom 67 also completed behavioral assessments. Greater phenotypical severity of metopic synostosis (lower FA, aEBA, and EBA) was associated with worse scores on the subscales of the BRIEF-2 (executive function) and executive subscale of the Conners-3. Increasing age at surgery was associated with worse executive function subscale scores of the Conners-3 when controlling for each severity measurement and sociodemographic risk.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Children with greater phenotypic severity of metopic synostosis have worse executive function at school age. The majority of children with metopic synostosis have signs of ADHD. Later surgeries (greater than 12 months) may impact executive functioning, regardless of the degree of severity. Future research should aim at identifying the direct structural changes to the brain.
