Abstract:
The cranial sutures can be imaged sonographically in the fetus as early as the end of the first trimester; however, fetal position and maternal body habitus can present significant challenges to clear visualization. Antenatal identification of craniosynostosis is important for delivery planning, and there are a number of available ultrasound techniques and imaging signs to assist with accurate diagnosis of both single suture craniosynostosis and syndromic multisutural fusions.

01:22Sutures of the Skull
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...
01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
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...
