coronal suture
coronal

The coronal sutures run over the top of the head, just in front of the ears.

Surgery is needed to prevent the closing of the coronal sutures from damaging brain development.

They are also occasionally seen within the sagittal and coronal sutures.

It is important to be at least 1 cm anterior to the coronal suture to avoid the motor strip.

Many people with this disorder have a premature fusion of skull bones along the coronal suture.

Compensatory growth occurs at both the coronal sutures, thereby pushing the forehead forwards.

In plagiocephaly one of the coronal sutures is prematurely fused.

The point where the upper temporal line cuts the coronal suture is named the stephanion.

There are two possible deformities that can be caused by the premature closure of the coronal suture:

Head mostly without coronal suture.

Due to the premature closing of the coronal sutures, increased cranial pressure can develop, leading to mental deficiency.

Most commonly results from the premature fusion of the coronal suture, although any of the other sutures could result in this too.

The lambdoid, sagittal and coronal sutures are supposed to close between 22 to 39 months of age.

The coronal suture is obliterated and the third molars are heavily worn, suggesting that the specimen reached adulthood.

If the coronal suture closes asymmetrically or unilaterally, then the face and forehead will form unevenly, from side-to-side.

The bregma is formed by the intersection of the sagittal and coronal sutures.

Two others were turning around with knives as he caught their skulls at the coronal sutures, splitting the casing of the brains and rupturing them.

The coronal suture is the fibrous joint that unites the frontal bone with the two parietal bones of the skull.

The anterior fontanelle is where the metopic, saggital and coronal sutures meet.

Brachycephaly, or a 'short head', is the result of a closure of both the coronal sutures.

Premature closure of the coronal suture (the suture running from side to side on the skull) leads to a short, wide head.

Compensatory growth in the perpendicular plane occurs on the side of the head with the patent coronal suture, the contralateral side.

From these attachments the fibers are directed upward, and join the galea aponeurotica below the coronal suture.

It appears to end anteriorly immediately below the badly fragmented frontal and parietal bones just anterior to the region of the coronal suture.

A section of the skull, ranging from the coronal sutures to the eye sockets is cut loose in order to correct the shape of the skull.
