Single suture craniosynostosis: diagnosis and imaging.
Craniosynostosis, premature suture fusion, is one of the most common craniofacial anomalies affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 live births. Craniosynostosis is most commonly an isolated (nonsyndromic) condition with the sagittal suture being the most commonly affected suture. In this review we describe the range of isolated synostoses and show how these can lead to a variety of different morphological and functional abnormalities.
