2015年7月24日 · The authors describe the normal anatomy of all standard pediatric sutures, common variants, and sutural mimics, thereby providing an accurate and safe framework for CT evaluation of skull trauma in pediatric patients.

2017年1月10日 · Knowledge of normal suture lines is necessary to recognize abnormalities and normal variants in pediatric patients and even later in adults. The typical, normally patent sutures that can be seen in children under 6 months of age are shown in Fig. 25.1.

2024年8月18日 · Skull sutures are fibrous joints with the periosteum externally and the outer layer of dura mater continuous over and under them. Their wavy appearance affords increased contact surface area between adjacent bones, supporting the strength of the joint .

The 3D reconstructed images using the GA-VIBE sequence in comparison to the CT scans created clinically acceptable cranial images capable of detecting cranial sutures. Future directions include reducing the scan time, improving motion correction, and automating postprocessing for …

Persistent midline occipital suture (Figure 8) - Extends cranially from the dorsal aspect of the foramen magnum. Usually closed by 4 years of age. Appearances can mimic a fracture - appearing wide and sharp. However, the suture should not extend more than 2cm or persist later than 4 years of age [5].

2011年11月1日 · BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Pediatric cranial sutures are often evaluated for abnormal diastasis upon presentation to the emergency department after trauma or during a neurologic consultation; however, few normative data for CT measurements exist. This study establishes normal means for the sagittal and coronal suture widths during the first year ...

Cranial sutures are defined as bands of fibrous tissue that hold the cranial bones together and maintain a state of remodeling from infancy through early adulthood to allow the skull to grow and accommodate the developing brain [1,2]. The incidence of accessory sutures, or rudimentary sutures, is considered to be relatively low [1,3].

1972年8月1日 · Examples of sutures frequently misinterpreted as fractures, especially when slight degrees of rotation are present. A, Squamosal sutures (arrows). B, Mendosal suture (arrow). The other sutures in this neonatal skull are poorly visualized, and the striking radiolucency of the mendosal suture certainly could suggest a fracture.

2017年1月10日 · The following pages describe normal anatomy of the sutures of the skull base, basiocciput, and orbitofrontal region that can simulate fractures or other disease in children and less commonly in...

2022年2月1日 · Cranial suture involvement with pediatric skull fractures is common. Head CT significantly aided in the identification of skull fractures contacting and crossing cranial sutures in abusive cases, supporting eliminating concurrent skull radiographs.
