Children's craniofacial surgery. Part 3, Rogue gene.

The last in a three-part series following children undergoing craniofacial surgery at the Oxford Craniofacial Unit. Finley has Apert syndrome which makes the plates of his skull fuse prematurely, leading to craniosynostosis. He undergoes surgery to expand his skull which is shown in detail. Ollie Cartwright has Pfeiffer syndrome. He is thirteen now and has been having surgery on his skull since he was a baby. He is having headaches and some worrying symptoms so the medical team check him out. He undergoes surgery to remove the shunt which drains excess cerebral fluid from his brain as it has become infected. Andrew Wilkie and Anne Goriely discuss their research into the genetic aspects of Apert syndrome. Emma Campbell has been being treated for Apert syndrome since she was a child and now her own daughter, Chloe is being treated for the same condition. Katie has an unknown condition in which her skull is not growing correctly; she has surgery to correct the problem, an operation called a front-orbital advancement.
