Sagittal craniosynostosis (SC) remains the most common type of synostosis, accounting for
about a half of all forms. It would result from a mesenchymal disorder involving the …

Abnormal skull shape resulting in craniofacial deformity is a relatively common clinical
finding, with deformity either positional (positional plagiocephaly) or related to premature …

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 …

Introduction This study assesses the diagnostic reliability of a novel photogrammetric
measurement to distinguish sagittal craniosynostosis (SS) from control and false positive …

Background Scaphocephaly is usually defined as the deformation of the skull resulting from
the premature fusion of the sagittal suture. It is the most common type of craniosynostosis …

Aim: Isolated sagittal synostosis is the commonest form of craniosynostosis. The reasons for
surgery are to normalize the head shape and to increase the cranial volume, thus reducing …

Background: Premature sagittal synostosis (SS) can be surgically corrected using extensive
cranioplasties or using less invasive methods, eg spring-assisted surgery (SAS). Aim: The …

Although clinical descriptions of altered calvarial shape in isolated sagittal synostosis
abound in the literature, systematic quantitative assessment of the total morphologic pattern …

Premature sagittal synostosis results in an elongated, narrow skull shape, scaphocephaly. It
has been unclear whether the intracranial volume (ICV) of these children is different from …

The article presents the causes of abnormal skull shape in infants. It cites that deformity of
the skull may be caused by craniosynostosis, premature ossification, and fusion of the skull …
