Trigonocephaly is a result from the premature closure of the metopic suture. [10] [11] According to Virchow's law, this fusion will result in a narrow forehead, which is even further emphasized by ridging of the suture. [10] [11] Compensatory growth occurs at both the coronal sutures, thereby pushing the forehead forwards.
Scaphocephaly or sagittal craniosynostosis is a type of cephalic disorder which occurs when there is a premature fusion of the sagittal suture. Premature closure results in limited lateral expansion of the skull, resulting in a characteristic long, narrow head. [1] The skull base is typically spared. [2]
Turricephaly is a type of cephalic disorder where the head appears tall with a small length and width. [3] [4] It is due to premature closure of the coronal suture plus any other suture, like the lambdoid, [5] or it may be used to describe the premature fusion of all sutures. [2]
It persists until approximately 18 months after birth. It is at the junction of the coronal suture and sagittal suture. The fetal anterior fontanelle may be palpated until 18 months. In cleidocranial dysostosis, however, it is often late in closing at 8–24 months or may never close. Examination of an infant includes palpating the anterior ...
Saethre–Chotzen syndrome (SCS), also known as acrocephalosyndactyly type III, is a rare congenital disorder associated with craniosynostosis (premature closure of one or more of the sutures between the bones of the skull). This affects the shape of the head and face, resulting in a cone-shaped head and an asymmetrical face.
If certain bones of the skull grow too fast before birth, then "premature closure" of the sutures may occur. [2] This can cause craniosynostosis, which results in skull deformities. [2] Sagittal craniosynostosis is the most common form. [2]
Acrocephalosyndactyly presents in numerous different subtypes, however, considerable overlap in symptoms occurs. Generally, all forms of acrocephalosyndactyly are characterized by atypical craniofacial, hand, and foot characteristics, such as premature closure of the fibrous joints in between certain bones of the skull, [16] [17] fusion of certain fingers or toes, [16] [18] and/or more than ...
The condition is caused by a premature fusing of the fibrous sutures. [9] The distinctive head shape seen in kleeblattschaedel is caused by the closure of the sagittal, coronal, and lambdoid sutures, with subsequent bulging of the cranial contents leading to a trilobate head shape. [7]
