Craniosynostosis
Craniosynostosis occurs when the bones of an unborn baby's skull come together prematurely during his or her development in the womb. Craniosynostosis can produce impaired brain growth and skull deformities such as oxycephaly (the skull takes a cone shape) and scaphocephaly (the skull is long and narrow). A link between craniosynostosis and the widely-used antidepressant Paxil ® has been confirmed.
Paxil is one of the most widely prescribed antidepressants in the world. In addition to depression, it is also prescribed to treat anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. Studies show that women who take Paxil ® while pregnant are six-times more likely to give birth to an infant with serious injuries such as craniosynostosis.
