Improvement in Sleep Architecture is associated with the Indication of Surgery in Syndromic Craniosynostosis

Conclusions: For routine detection of disturbed sleep in individual subjects, PSG-assessed sleep architecture is currently not useful. OSA does disrupt sleep architecture, but ICH does not. OSA-indicated surgery improves sleep architecture, which stresses the importance of treating OSA to assure adequate sleep. ICH-indicated surgery affects sleep architecture, although it is not clear whether this is a positive or negative effect.
