Coronal and lambdoid suture evolution following total vault remodeling for scaphocephaly

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to report the postoperative skull response after the removal of normal patent sutures following total vault remodeling in patients with isolated sagittal synostosis. The reappearance of a neosuture is rather common, but its incidence depends on the type of suture. The outcome of the suture differs with the incidence of neosuture formation between these transverse sutures. This might imply genetic and functional differences among cranial sutures, which still have to be elucidated.PMID:33794500 | DOI:10.3171/2021.1.FOCUS201004
