Sutures of the Skull

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...

Area of Science:

Otopathology
Rheumatology
Immunology

Background:

Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease causing fibrosis and vasculopathy.

Keywords:

otopathology scleroderma vasculitis
