... it had been classified as hereditary isolated coronal synostosis until associated abnormalities of the inner ear and the brain, as well as subtle anomalies of the extremities, were appreciated [ 2 , 3 ]. Likewise, a considerable proportion of individuals with a putative isolated metopic synostosis...

... fusion results in characteristic skull changes that vary with the affected suture, and imaging studies may confirm suspected synostosis. Craniectomy is the definitive treatment for craniosynostosis, and a single well-timed surgical procedure is sufficient in many patients with isolated synostosis...

... Abstract Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (SCS) is one of the frequent autosomal dominant craniosynostosis syndromes with the following main features: coronal suture fusion resulting in progressive synostosis, dilated parietal foramina, low frontal hairline, hypertelorism, ptosis of upper eyelids...

... with Pfeiffer syndrome [ 5 ]. The closure of the sutures leads to typical partial sonographic shadowing of the brain. When cloverleaf skull is present, major parts of the brain are not visible in axial standard views due to synostosis of all sutures except the metopic and squamosal sutures ( fig. 6d...

... recurrent deformity and/ or elevated intracranial pressure may occur in a significant proportion of patients, particularly in progressive multisutural synostosis commonly seen in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis.

... , and MSH5 . The most common single nuclear causative gene in syndromic POF is a premutation of FMR1 , but other examples of proven syndromic POF include the blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome due to FOXL2 , and proximal symphalangism ( SYM1 ) and multiple synostosis syndrome ( SYNS1...

... Abstract Craniofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS) is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome mainly characterized by hypertelorism, a broad or bifid nasal tip, coronal suture synostosis, corpus callosum hypoplasia or agenesis, and developmental delay but without severe mental deficiency. In some...

... of synostosis involved and their contribution to the characterization of the etiology of the craniosynostosis. The use of chromosomal abnormalities in the identification of causative loci and genes in craniosynostosis and suture development has not been straightforward, particularly due to the small number...

Brachycephaly and Anterior Plagiocephaly Resulting from Predominant Coronal Craniosynostosis The common ‘syndromic’ forms of uni- or bilateral coronal synostosis show autosomal...

.... This was first suggested by Merrill et al. when they observed abnormal mixing of sutural mesenchyme cells with the osteogenic fronts in Twist1 +/- mice, which develop coronal synostosis [ 15 ]. This cell mixing was demonstrated using the Wnt1-Cre;R26R transgenes on the Twist1 +/- background. Because...
