This study presents comparisons of the ultrastructure of synostotic and open portions of
synostotic sagittal sutures using histomorphometry, scanning electron microscopy, and …

Craniosynostosis is a condition where the cranial sutures are early fused. Sagittal suture
synostosis is found to be the most prevalent. Many techniques ranging from simple suture …

Premature closure of the sagittal suture occurs as an isolated (nonsyndromic) birth defect or
as a syndromic anomaly in combination with other congenital dysmorphologies. The genetic …

Background: The cause of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis remains elusive. Although
compressive forces have been implicated in premature suture fusion, conclusive evidence of …

Background: Sagittal craniosynostosis may present with complete or partial fusion of the
sagittal suture, but relationships between degree of sagittal suture fusion and head shape …

Object Data from animal studies have shown that in experimentally induced
craniosynostosis, removal of the involved calvaria results in the formation of new calvaria …

OBJECTIVE Cranial suture patterning and development are highly regulated processes that
are not entirely understood. While studies have investigated the differential gene expression …

Background: The squamosal suture is markedly different from the major calvarial sutures of
the human skull. The unique properties of the suture are a result of the complex …

Craniosynostosis is classified according to the included sutures as either symmetric, such as
scaphocephaly and brachycephaly, or asymmetric, such as plagiocephaly. Asymmetric …

Background: Expansile cranial springs are used to treat selected cases of sagittal
synostosis. After sagittal suturectomy, springs are placed perpendicular to the line of the …
