Explore the intricate details of cranial anatomy with
this exceptional specimen showcasing the morphology of the metopic
suture. Keywords: cranial sutures, frontal suture, frontal bone.
Description:
The
midline suture known as the metopic suture separates the frontal bones
at birth, but typically fuses and disappears in infancy. However, if it
persists, it can hinder the proper development of the frontal sinuses,
if they develop at all. A persistent metopic suture has been reported to
occur in up to 6% of adults. Clinically, it is not of significant
importance, though it could potentially be misinterpreted as a frontal
bone fracture by someone unfamiliar with it.
Closure and Persistence:
The
metopic suture normally fuses and disappears during infancy. However,
its persistence can have various implications on cranial development and
diagnosis.
