Acloverleafdeformity of the skull consists of trilobed protrusion of the skull with broadening of the frontal and bitemporal region. It typically results from intrauterine premature closure of sagittal, coronal and lambdoid sutures,although, although other combinations of sutural involvement are possible.
Rarely, a cloverleaf shaped skull may occur in the absence of craniosynostosis. In this condition there was hypoplasia of several cranial bones, allowing eventration of the brain and surrounding tissues into a trilobed configuration.
