Abstract
Introduction:
Sagittal synostosis has been found to occur in families at a low frequency. All previous reports of sagittal synostosis in twins have been of males.
Case Report:
We now report a case of female twins concordant for sagittal synostosis.
Conclusion:
Our hopes are that this information will further our understanding of the genetics of sagittal synostosis not only in single births but also in that of twins.
