[Imaging of cloverleaf skull].
The cloverleaf skull is a rare and due to complex craniosynostosis. This malformation can be isolated or associated with extracranial skeletal anomalies. This anomaly has a poor prognosis both in terms of neurological outcome and esthetic appearance. Our report underscores the need to obtain a global study of the skull, the brain and the cerebral vessels with 3D reconstructions and MRI prior to early surgery.
