Frontal bossing is the development of an unusually pronounced forehead which may also be associated with a heavier than normal brow ridge. It is caused by enlargement of the frontal bone , often in conjunction with abnormal enlargement of other facial bones , skull , mandible , and bones of the hands and feet.
Distinct faces: Frontal and temporoparietal bossing, hypertelorism, mandibular prognathism, cleft lip or palate, and macrocephaly. [8] Bilateral ovarian fibromas; 10% develop cardiac fibromas; ocular abnormalities: cataracts, coloboma, microphthalmia. [8] meningiomas [8]
Compensatory growth occurs forward at the coronal suture and backward at the lambdoid suture giving respectively a prominent forehead, called frontal bossing, and a prominent back portion of the head, called coning. [10] [11] This is the most common form of craniosynostosis. [13]
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 ...
Morphological facial changes caused by acromegaly; frontal bossing, enlarged nose, prognathism and maxillary widening with separation of teeth and unseen, enlargement of the tongue, stuffy nose (macroglossia) Acromegaly is a syndrome that results when the anterior pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (GH).
Bodily abnormalities such as webbed, short, joined, or abnormally curved fingers and toes are also symptoms of Orofaciodigital syndrome type 1. The most frequent symptoms are accessory oral frenulum, broad alveolar ridges, frontal bossing, high palate, hypertelorism, lobulated tongue, median cleft lip, and wide nasal bridge.

The displaced structures are usually associated with clinical symptoms. The typical symptoms of outward expansion are prominence of the supraorbital ridge and frontal bossing. The expansion could be focused on the orbit, nose, and other sinuses, or it could go intracranially.
Jackson–Weiss syndrome (JWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by foot abnormalities and the premature fusion of certain bones of the skull (craniosynostosis), which prevents further growth of the skull and affects the shape of the head and face.
