Trigonocephaly in rabbits with familial interfrontal suture synostosis: The multiple effects of premature single‐suture fusion

Loss-of-Function of Gli3 in Mice Causes Abnormal Frontal Bone Morphology and Premature Synostosis of the Interfrontal Suture

Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (GCPS) is an autosomal dominant disorder with polydactyly and syndactyly of the limbs and a broad spectrum of craniofacial abnormalities. Craniosynostosis of the metopic suture (interfrontal suture in mice) is an important but rare feature associated with GCPS. GCPS is caused by mutations in the transcription factor GLI3, which regulates Hedgehog signaling. ...

Facial twist (asymmetry) in isolated unilateral coronal synostosis: does premature facial suture fusion play a role?

BACKGROUND Unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) often causes notable facial twist in affected patients. This condition occurs when the midface deviates toward the synostotic side, and the lower face deviates away from the synostotic side. The exact underlying mechanism for this phenomenon remains unclear. It has been proposed that premature fusion of facial sutures may play a role in the formati...

The Effects of Postnatal Hyperthyroidism on Coronal Suture Complexity in Rabbits with Familial, Delayed-onset Craniosynostosis

Premature closure of the frontozygomatic suture: unusual frontoorbital dysplasia mimicking unilateral coronal synostosis.

Fig. 1.-Case 1. Skull films. A, Frontal projection. Left orbit is small and round , with normally oriented orbital roof and lesser wing of sphenoid . Lateral wall of left orbit is broad and decreased in height; frontozygomatic suture is obliterated. B, Submentovertical projection. Left frontal area is depressed. Lateral wall of left orbit is short and directed more lateral than normal. There is...

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
