The metopic suture is radio-opaque and there is a triangular shape of the frontal bone, compatible with trigonocephaly (metopic suture craniosynostosis).
From the case:
Trigonocephaly
{"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/19028/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
CT-scan confirms metopic suture craniosynostosis (trigonocephaly).
Case Discussion
Trigonocephaly is a type of craniosynostosis (craniostenose). Other type of craniostenosis :
- scaphocephaly: sagittal craniostenosis
- plagiocephaly: unilateral asymmetric or multiple craniostenosis
- oxycephaly: lambdoid, sagittal & coronal craniostenoses
- turricephaly (towering skull): bilambdoid or bicoronal craniostenosis
- brachycephaly: bilambdoid or bicoronal craniostenosis
- Kleeblattschädel (cloverleaf skull): bicoronal and bilambdoid craniostenosis
