“SYNOSTOSIS” на русском языке

There may be partial or complete fusion of a suture, but a short segment of synostosis often produces the same deformity as a complete fusion.

The clinical features include misshapen skull caused by coronal suture synostosis , wide-set eyes, midface hypoplasia, choanal stenosis, and shallow orbits.

Isolated sagittal synostosis , premature fusion of the sagittal suture, is the most common type of craniosynostosis and accounts for 56% to 58% of reported cases.

The calvarial shape is characteristic for each type of sutural synostosis .

Familial nonsyndromic craniosynostosis, which affects 2 to 6 percent of infants with sagittal synostosis and 8 to 14 percent of infants with coronal synostosis , is transmitted as an autosomal dominant disorder.
