Interference with interparietal growth in the human skull by the tectum synoticum posterior.
The tectum synoticum posterior, which is one of the 3 skull roof elements of the chondrocranium, interferes with the growth of the human interparietal bone, thus giving rise to lateral incisures in the bone. Our observations on the developmental fate of the incisures strongly suggest that the sutura mendosa is the remnant of these incisures.
