Premature facial synostosis: The influence of biomechanical factors in normal and hypocalcaemic young rats

The European Journal of Orthodontics, 1985
Premature fusion of the internasal suture was induced by feeding young rats a low calcium and vitamin D-deficient diet for 24 and 28 days A biomechanical force that expanded the interpremaxillary suture area for 3–7 days extended the obliterated region of the internasal suture in the diet-deficient rats more than in deficient control rats In normal ...

The deformed petrous bone: a new plain film sign of premature lambdoid synostosis.

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1991
Towne-view skull radiographs of 38 infants with unilateral lambdoid synostosis were reviewed. The diagnosis of lambdoid synostosis was based on other plain film findings, CT findings, or clinical examination. All patients had deformity of the ipsilateral petrous bone, presumably because of pressure caused by redirected brain growth.

Premature Synostosis in the Sternum (Silverman's Disease)

Acta Paediatrica, 1961
SummaryA case of a rare sternal anomaly, premature synostosis, is reported, characterised by premature obliteration of the sutures between the sternal segments. The clinical and roentgenologic findings are discussed.

Premature Cranial Synostosis in X‐Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets: Possible Precipitation by 1‐alpha‐OH‐Cholecalciferol Intoxication

Acta Paediatrica, 1984
ABSTRACT. A child suffering from X‐linked hypophosphatemic rickets developed vitamin D intoxication under treatment with 1‐alpha‐OH‐cholecalciferol (1(OH)D3) and phosphorus. Beside the usual findings in this condition he showed precocious synostosis of the skull with signs of raised intracranial pressure.

Facial Twist (Asymmetry) in Isolated Unilateral Coronal Synostosis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015
Unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) often causes notable facial twist in affected patients. This condition occurs when the midface deviates toward the synostotic side, and the lower face deviates away from the synostotic side. The exact underlying mechanism for this phenomenon remains unclear.

Chronic tonsillar herniation in Crouzon's and Apert's syndromes: the role of premature synostosis of the lambdoid suture

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1995
✓ The incidence of chronic tonsillar herniation (CTH) was evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging in 44 patients with Crouzon's syndrome and 51 with Apert's syndrome; the incidence was 72.7% in Crouzon's syndrome and 1.9% in Apert's syndrome. All the patients with Crouzon's syndrome and progressive hydrocephalus had CTH, but of 32 individuals with ...

Rescue of Premature Coronal Suture Fusion with TGF-β2 Neutralizing Antibody in Rabbits with Delayed-Onset Synostosis

The Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal, 2018
Objectives: An overexpression of Tgf-β2 leads to calvarial hyperostosis and suture fusion in individuals with craniosynostosis. Inhibition of Tgf-β2 may help rescue fusing sutures and restore normal growth. The present study was designed to test this hypothesis.

Growth of the Anterior Cranial Base After Craniotomy in Infants with Premature Synostosis of the Coronal Suture

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1983
The effect of early craniotomy (age range: 1-6 months) on the growth of the cranial base was studied in 9 subjects with different types of premature synostosis affecting the coronal suture. In 5 of them the premature fusion involved only growth sites in the coronal suture growth complex, while the remaining 4 cases had a diagnosis of a craniofacial ...

Premature Synostosis of the Sagittal Suture and its Treatment

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1962
Craniostenosis, a term introduced by Virchow in 1851, TM applied to the premature closure of one or several cranial sutures. Of the 37 sutures of the cranium, the 4 long ones, sagittal, coronal, lambdoidal and squamosal, in order of sequence, are the most frequently involved. The premature ossification of the sagittal suture creates scaphocephaly.

A Biomechanical Study on the Effect of Premature Fusion of the Frontosphenoidal Suture on Orbit Asymmetry in Unilateral Coronal Synostosis

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 2009
Objective The coronal ring of patients with unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) presents premature fusion. This study aims to elucidate whether or not the dynamic behavior of the orbit in response to intracranial pressure (ICP) differs between patients in whom the premature fusion exists only in the frontoparietal suture (FPS) and those in whom the ...
