Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
Overview of the Skull01:08

Overview of the Skull

The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Summary

This study reports the first case of complete cranium bifidum in a newborn without other congenital anomalies. The rare cranial defect persisted for 3 years, suggesting a potential coincidental mutation.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal pathology
  • Developmental biology
  • Medical genetics

Background:

  • Cranium bifidum is a rare congenital anomaly in newborns.
  • Most cases involve enlarged parietal foramina and additional abnormalities.
  • This condition requires detailed investigation due to its rarity.

Observation:

  • Presents the first reported case of complete cranium bifidum.
  • The infant had no other associated congenital anomalies.
  • The cranial defect remained present throughout a 3-year follow-up period.

Findings:

  • Complete cranium bifidum occurred as an isolated anomaly.
  • No hereditary or familial links were identified.
  • The isolated presentation suggests a possible de novo mutation.

Implications:

  • Highlights the spectrum of cranium bifidum presentations.
  • Suggests that isolated complete cranium bifidum may arise from spontaneous genetic events.
  • Contributes to understanding rare neonatal cranial defects and their etiology.
