If certain bones of the skull grow too fast then premature fusion of the sutures, craniosynostosis, may occur. [1] This can result in skull deformities. [ 1 ] These deformities include: [ 3 ]
Cranial height is defined as the distance between the bregma and the midpoint of the foramen magnum (the basion). [6] This is strongly linked to more general growth. [6] This can be used to assess the general health of a deceased person as part of an archaeological excavation, giving information on the health of a population.

The sagittal suture 'divides' the coronal suture in two halves; unilateral meaning that either the right side or the left side to the sagittal suture is fused. This fact immediately raises an important point. Unlike closure of the sagittal or the metopic suture, right and left are not the same in unilateral coronal synostosis.
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 ...
One of the first uses was wine mixed with oil was a common remedy in the ancient world to cleanse wounds and assuage their pain as noted in the context of Alcohol in the Bible. [ 15 ] The Sumerians used beer as an antiseptic along with the dressing of wounds, using up to 19 different types of beer. [ 16 ]
Cranial sutures. A defining characteristic of Crouzon syndrome is craniosynostosis, which results in an abnormal head shape.This is present in combinations of: frontal bossing, trigonocephaly (fusion of the metopic suture), brachycephaly (fusion of the coronal suture), dolichocephaly (fusion of the sagittal suture), plagiocephaly (unilateral premature closure of lambdoid and coronal sutures ...
Still of all the discoveries made in ancient Egypt, the most important discovery relating to ancient Egyptian knowledge of medicine is the Ebers Papyrus, named after its discoverer Georg Ebers. The Ebers Papyrus, conserved at the University of Leipzig , is considered one of the oldest treaties on medicine and the most important medical papyri .
