ABSTRACT
Craniosynostosis is the premature closure of the cranial sutures.
We present the radiological findings of a six-month old case who
presented with small head and frontal triangular shape and who
was found to have generalized pitting and softness on palpation
of the head. The three-dimensional images computed tomography
(CT) showed a sagittal, coronal and metopic suture synostosis with
exaggerated convolutional markings in the form of lacunar skull.
This case report showed that patients with craniosynostosis should
be evaluated by three-dimensional images CT.
