Clinical and radiological features of some rare forms of craniosynostosis in clinical practice

Abstract

There are rare forms of craniosynostosis with single or multiple suture involvement. These are sphenofrontal plagiocephaly; posterior plagiocephaly with unilateral lambdoid synostosis; combined sagittal and metopic synostosis; combined sagittal and unilateral coronal synostosis; and bilateral lambdoid and sagittal synostosis with Mercedes–Benz pattern. In our study, we aimed to present both clinical and three-dimensional computed tomographic characteristics of these rare forms of craniosynostosis.
