Bostrup phenomenon (ch.i.baastrup; synonym: bostrup syndrome, ch.i.bostrup) is a condition in which abnormal bone growth occurs in the skull area, which can lead to facial deformation, headaches, blurred vision and other symptoms .

This phenomenon was first described in 1974 by the Danish surgeon Bostrup. He noticed that in some patients with traumatic brain injury and damage to the skull bones, bone tissue grows at the site of injury. Bostrop suggested that this may be due to a disruption of the immune system, which is responsible for tissue regeneration.

Today Bostrup syndrome is considered a rare disease, but its symptoms can manifest both at an early age and in adulthood. This most often occurs in men, but can also occur in women.

Symptoms of Bostrup syndrome may include:

1. facial deformation;
2. headache;
3. visual impairment;
4. hearing loss;
5. speech disorders;
6. behavior change.

Treatment of Bostrup phenomenon can be surgical or conservative. In the first case, excess bone tissue is removed, and in the second, drugs are used that slow down bone growth. However, despite treatment, symptoms may persist throughout the patient's life.

Bostrup syndrome is a rare disease that requires careful examination and treatment. If you suspect this disease, consult your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
