Skull bossing is a descriptive term in medical physical examination indicating a protuberance of the skull, most often in the frontal bones of the forehead ("frontal bossing"). Although prominence of the skull bones may be normal, skull bossing may be associated with certain medical conditions, [ 1 ] including nutritional, metabolic, hormonal ...
large, bulging head; prominent scalp veins "saddle-like, flat bridged nose with broad, fleshy tip" large lips and tongue; small, widely spaced and/or malformed teeth; hypertrophic alveolar ridges and/or gums; The head tends to be longer than normal from front to back, with a bulging forehead.
Children with Sotos syndrome tend to be large at birth and are often taller, heavier, and have relatively large skulls (macrocephaly) than is normal for their age. Signs of the disorder, which vary among individuals, include a disproportionately large skull with a slightly protrusive forehead, large hands and feet, large mandible, hypertelorism ...
This described nine children who in addition to congenital heart disease had characteristic facial features, chest deformities and short stature. Dr. John Opitz, a former student of Noonan's, first began to call the condition "Noonan syndrome" when he saw children who looked like those whom Dr. Noonan had described.
Bossing (bulging) of the forehead. Open skull sutures, large fontanelles. Hypertelorism. Delayed ossification of bones forming symphysis pubis, producing a widened symphysis. Coxa vara can occur, limiting abduction and causing Trendelenburg gait. Short middle fifth phalanges, [14] sometimes causing short and wide fingers. [15] Vertebral ...
The primary characteristics of FTHS are brachycephaly (flat head), wide fontanelle (soft spot on a baby's head), prominent forehead, hypertelorism (abnormally wide distance between the eyes), prominent eyes, macrocornea (large corneas), optic disc edema, full cheeks, small chin, bowing of the long bones in the arms or legs, and finger deformities.
The goal is to assess the shape of the forehead, the skull length, the width of the skull, position of the ears and the symmetry of the frontal bones and [occiput]. The second is looking at the patient from behind while preferably the child is in the same position as described above.
