There is severe widening of the coronal and lambdoid sutures, appreciated on lateral projection.
From the case:
Sutural diastasis
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/66042/annotated_viewer_json?_c=1669371073\u0026lang=us"}
Red arrowheads are pointing to the widened coronal sutures.
Blue arrowheads are pointing to the widened lambdoid sutures.
Case Discussion
These images were obtained during the workup for ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter placement, and they show a typical appearance of sutural diastasis secondary to increased intracranial pressure (hydrocephalus in this case).
