What is the name of the condition when a baby's soft spot hardens?

This condition causes the skull to bulge because the soft spot becomes hard. If left untreated the baby could die or become severely retarded. The condition can be corrected through surgery by cutting the skull into four quadrants. I cannot remember the name for this condition! The name of the condition is called craniosynostosis.
