Objectives The sagittal suture (SS) is assumed to be an initial site for the commencement of
cranial suture closure as well as the most frequent spot of isolated craniosynostosis. The …

Background Cranial sutures are active bone growth sites and any alteration in their normal
formation, patency and closure influences the overall cranial morphology. This comparative …

The frontal bone develops as two halves, which further unite in a single bone by the closure
of the mid-sagittal metopic suture, typically by the end of the first postnatal year. The frontal …

Background Metopic suture lies between the halves of the growing frontal bone and usually
closes in early infancy. If the metopic suture fails to close it persists in adulthood and could …

The persistent metopic suture is an anatomic variation related to a specific skull
configuration. Data on the proportionality of the neurocranium and the occurrence of …

Background The morphology and dimensions of the frontal sinus (FS) are significant in the
forensic, surgical and population context. Purpose The study aimed to compare linear FS …

This study aimed to compare the nasofrontal region in metopic and non-metopic cranial
series and to assess whether the persistent metopic suture is related to a specific …

The frontal sinus (FS) is an air-filled space and usually appears as two irregularly-shaped
cavities separated from each other by a septum. The persisting metopic suture (MS) is …

Developmental variations in the cranial vault arise during early ontogenesis due to
premature or delayed suture closure, non-union between the normal ossification centers …

Wormian bones (WB) are the irregular bone structures developed from additional centers of
ossification. Although they are commonly found in healthy individuals, under certain …
