The metopic suture (MS) is one of the main sutures of the calvaria; premature closure is
responsible for trigonocephaly, while persistence (metopism) is considered a normal variant …

Cranial sutures are complex structures integrating mechanical forces with osteogenesis
which are often affected in craniofacial syndromes. While premature fusion is frequently …

Cribra orbitalia is a phenomenon with interdisciplinary interest. However, the etiology of

Background: Does bifrontal width change with growth following trigonocephaly corrections?
Postoperative long-term growth was assessed, along with the impacts of phenotypic …

Background Cranial sutures are active bone growth sites and any alteration in their normal
