title: Developmental defects in the cranial vault.
abstract: The parietal bone seems to be the target for a number of different developmental conditions of the calvaria some of which are congenital whilst others develop in later life. The characteristic radiological patterns of a number of these lesions are described and illustrated, and an attempt is made to correlate the pathology with alterations in bone growth.
