A history of the surgery of the cranial sutures

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2023
While the calvarial sutures have a limited importance for the modern neurosurgeon, they were of considerable interest to cranial surgeons from the time of Hippocrates onwards. The reasons for this interest together with the evolution of ideas are the subjects of this paper.The texts of surgeons from the time of Hippocrates to the eighteenth century ...

Studies in Cranial Suture Biology:In VitroCranial Suture Fusion

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 1996
The biology underlying craniosynostosis remains unknown. Previous studies have shown that the underlying dura mater, not the suture itself, signals a suture to fuse. The purpose of this study was to develop an in vitro model for cranial-suture fusion that would still allow for suture-dura interaction, but without the influence of tensional forces ...

Cranial Sutures: A Brief Review

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2008
Craniosynostosis, or the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures, is a relatively common congenital defect that causes a number of morphologic and functional abnormalities. With advances in genetics and molecular biology, research of craniosynostosis has progressed from describing gross abnormalities to understanding the molecular interactions ...

Cranial Suture Biology

2005
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the cranial suture biology. The term “craniosynostosis” was first used in 1830 by Otto to describe the premature fusion of cranial sutures. Since this first identification of craniosynostosis as a distinct clinical entity, several theories have been proposed to explain both the pathogenesis of premature ...

Regulation of Cranial Suture Morphogenesis

Cells Tissues Organs, 2004
The cranial sutures are the primary sites of bone formation during skull growth. Morphogenesis and phenotypic maintenance of the cranial sutures are regulated by tissue interactions, especially those with the underlying dura mater. Removal of the dura mater in fetuses causes abnormal suture development and premature suture obliteration.

Traumatic diastasis of cranial sutures

Clinical Radiology, 1961
Summary 1. From a study of the normal, it would appear that the anatomical descriptions of “fusion” of the cranial sutures are not associated with an obliteration of these sutures on the radiograph. 2. As long as a suture is visible radiologically, the possibility of its separation by trauma must be accepted. 3. From a series of measurements

Studies in Cranial Suture Biology: Part II. Role of the Dura in Cranial Suture Fusion

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1996
The biology underlying normal and premature cranial suture fusion remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the dura mater in cranial suture fusion. In the Sprague Dawley rat model, the posterior frontal cranial suture fuses between 10 and 20 days of postnatal life.

Fractality of Cranial Sutures

2016
It has long been known that skull suture has a typical fractal structure. Although the fractal dimension has been utilized to assess morphology, the mechanism of the fractal structure formation remains to be elucidated. Recent advances in the mathematical modeling of biological pattern formation provided useful frameworks for understanding this ...

A Fractal Analysis of Human Cranial Sutures

The Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal, 2003
Objectives Many biological structures are products of repeated iteration functions. As such, they demonstrate characteristic, scale-invariant features. Fractal analysis of these features elucidates the mechanism of their formation.
