Facial sutures contribute significantly to postnatal facial development, but their potential role
in craniofacial disease is understudied. Since interest in their development and physiology …

Craniosynostosis is characterized by the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures,
which can lead to abnormal skull shape and restricted skull growth. Although most cases are …

Purpose Anterior plagiocephaly (AP), secondary to isolated frontosphenoidal synostosis
(IFS), represents one of the rarest forms of craniosynostosis documented in medical …

Isolated frontosphenoidal synostosis (FSS) is an extremely rare pathology in which
premature fusion of the frontal and sphenoid bones produces asymmetry of the forehead in …

Background: Craniosynostosis isolated to the frontosphenoidal suture is an extremely rare
entity, distinct from other types of synostotic anterior plagiocephaly, from the embryologic …

Unilateral synostotic frontal plagiocephaly is most commonly due to a premature fusion of
the frontoparietal suture. However, the coronal ring comprises of major and minor sutures …

Unilateral anterior plagiocephaly is most commonly the result of deformational
plagiocephaly or unilateral coronal synostosis, a premature fusion of the frontoparietal …

Aim: This study chronicles skull base and face development in nonsyndromic unilateral
coronal synostosis (UCS) during infancy, to characterize the mechanistic progression of …

Surgery for craniosynostoses can be conceptualized as surgical jazz, requiring not only
familiarity with techniques but also intraoperative improvisation. Surgery for nonsyndromic …
