Absence of the sagittal suture does not result in scaphocephaly

摘要

Purpose Premature fusion or craniosynostosis of suture(s) of the calvaria is known to result in skull deformation. However, absence of sutures may be interpreted as premature closure of a suture of the calvaria. In the study, the authors investigated skull configuration in skulls found to have isolated absence of the sagittal suture.
