We are so excited to see Dr. Rottgers' adorable patient Carson featured on the Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital page! Carson was born with - a condition that leads to early fusion of the skull bones. This condition requires early surgery to ensure the brain is able to grow and develop appropriately and to correct the abnormal head shape. Carson underwent surgical correction using a minimally invasive approach and he is now wearing a helmet to continue to mold his head shape as he grows. He is a true and we are so proud to be a part of his journey!

No one has ever worn a craniosynostosis helmet better than 6-month-old Carson Rea. Fashion tips from his dad, a Lifeline helicopter EMT. 🚁♥️♥️
