Most common cause of craniosynostosis is?
Plagiocephaly
Brachycephaly
Scaphocephaly
Trigonocephaly
Craniosynostosis refers to the premature fusion of cranial sutures resulting in abnormal head shapes since the brain cannot grow normally. Dolichocephaly/ scaphocephaly- it is premature fusion of the sagittal suture resulting in increased anteroposterior diameter (mc type) Brachycephaly- is premature fusion of the coronal suture, resulting in square type of brain Trigonocephaly - is premature fusion of the metopic suture, resulting in triangular type of brain Turricephaly/ oxycephaly- is premature fusion of sphenofrontal/ sphenoethmoidal suture, Plagiocephaly: it is not a type of craniosynostosis but Asymmetric head shape due to any pathology.
