Skull deformities an Craniosynostosis

Craniosynostosis is a birth defect in which one or more of the fibrous joints between the bones of your skull ( sutures) close prematurely (fuse), before the baby's brain is fully formed. Brain growth continues, giving the head a misshapen appearance. The term given to each type of craniosynostosis depends on what sutures are affected. Types of craniosynostosis include:Sagittal (scaphocephaly).Coronal:(unicoronal) plagiocephaly. (bicoronal) brachicephaly .Metopic:trigonocephaly.Lambdoid:Lambdoid synostosis
