Introduction Craniosynostoses affect 1/2000 births and their incidence is currently
increasing. Without surgery, craniosynostosis can lead to neurological issues due to …

This chapter provides the first descriptions of the intact paranasal sinuses of the Hofmeyr
cranium, which include both frontal sinuses and the right maxillary sinus, and compares …

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 …

This study documents the incidences of complete and partial metopism and their possible
relationship to frontal sinus volume (FSV) in a sample of modern adult black South Africans …

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 …

Objectives To document frontal sinus volume (FSV) in a sample of sub‐Saharan Africans
with a view to evaluating claims that such populations exhibit comparatively small sinuses …

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 …
