Syndromic craniosynostosis figures for 2017 reported by ERN CRANIO member centres (per country). A prevalence figure is generated per 10,000 live births. Number of live births was retrieved from Eurostat. For four countries, there is inconsistency between ERN CRANIO’s patient coverage of new patients with ‘total’ and syndromic craniosynostosis, with less coverage of syndromic craniosynostosis
