Medical Weight Loss
In some patients spasticity can actually help with standing or walking just by increasing the tone of an otherwise weak muscle. Too much spasticity, however, can restrict the voluntary use of a muscle and limit functional movement. In some patients something as simple as walking becomes difficult because the increased tone causes the legs not to bend or move the way the patient wants them too. In others, the contraction of the muscle is so severe and so constant that it causes the joints to become rigid or fixed in one place. Over time this can cause many complications, Left untreated, spasticity can cause severe orthopedic deformity, hip dislocations, skin breakdown, weight loss, depression, and chronic pain. Fortunately, there are many treatment options which can help.

Primary Care
Once a plan of treatment has been established we will provide you and your primary care physician with a summary and assist with scheduling of any imaging or treatments that are recommended.

Labor and Delivery
True craniosynostosis is typically present at birth but is often mistaken for molding of the head or changes that can occur with childbirth or prolonged labor. It is not uncommon for infants born with craniosynostosis to have a difficult delivery due to difficulties passing through the birth canal. With coronal and metopic synostosis changes in the face may cause the face to be different on one side compared to the other.

Urology
Our goal is to establish the unique functional abilities, disabilities, and goals of each patient. Each child will be seen individually by the above specialists in order to obtain different evaluations and perspectives. As each discipline tends to look at a different aspect of the evaluation and management, these separate opinions will help guide a multidisciplinary and individualized treatment plan. Additionally, we have specialists available from Pediatric Urology, Plastic Surgery, Social Work and most other pediatric subspecialties should the need arise for other consultations.
Endoscopy
Dr. Osterdock has a special interest in certain adult disorders which require specialized treatments. These include minimally invasive surgical techniques such as endoscopy and stereotaxy or computer guided surgery. She also has extensive experience in treatments for spasticity and epilepsy.

Hi- Our beautiful son has hydrocephalus. We were 27 Weeks along when our little boy was diagnosed with Severe Hydrocephalus. We had just had an ultrasound two weeks earlier due to a polyp and there had been nothing wrong. In just two weeks our lives would be changed forever…. Read More
MRI
Many Chiari malformations do not cause any symptoms or problems and will often go unnoticed. Sometimes a Chiari can be discovered when an MRI is obtained for some other diagnosis. The following are the most common Chiari malformation symptoms. However, each child may experience different symptoms. In infants and older children born with this Chiari malformation, symptoms may include...
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
In most cases a CT scan or CAT scan will be performed with a 3-D CT. This involves a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce cross sectional slices of the head which are then used to create a three dimensional model of the skull. This is very helpful in confirming the diagnosis and essential to make sure that there are not more than one suture involved. It is also very easy to see the closed suture which is helpful for family members trying to understand the diagnosis. The CT scan is quick and does not require a child to be sedated in most cases. The radiation dose is small when performed on a good scanner. Many times the scan can be done on the day of your visit if scheduling and insurance permit.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Sagittal synostosis is the most common form of craniosynostosis and represents 40-50% of cases of nonsyndromic suture closure. Craniosynostosis results from an absence or premature closure of one or more of the cranial sutures in between the developing bones of the skull. Typically when a suture is closed it can be identified at birth and creates a very stereotypical head shape.
Neurosurgery
Dr. Osterdock came to Denver in 2008 to develop the Pediatric Neurosurgery Team at the Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children. She left Loma Linda University, a well known academic hospital in Southern California, with an international reputation in craniofacial surgery after the separation of conjoined twins attached at the skull. She...

Physical Therapy
Each child will be seen by the team to determine what exactly the problem is and what additional information is needed to determine the diagnosis. Our goal is to understand where the deformity is arising from and how best to treat the problem to restore more normal growth to the skull. We also work closely with the Rose Medical Center Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Team for those children who need additional support from Pediatric Dentists, Nutrition, Opthalmology, and other pediatric subspecialists.
