André Marques

André's craniosynostosis journey from Brazil 

André is a sweet Brazilian baby boy who was born with a serious health condition affecting his skull called craniosynostosis, which required surgery before he was one year old. After his initial surgery in Brazil did not correct this condition, his parents connected with the Craniofacial Center at Medical City Children's Hospital to have a second, corrective surgery. Now, André can grow up like any other toddler — without the fear of sustaining serious brain injuries from everyday activities.
