Abstract
Craniosynostosis refers to the premature closure of calvarial sutures. Premature closure is subclassified into primary and secondary causes. The clinical manifestations of premature closure depend upon the involved suture and the resultant cranial dysmorphism. Common clinical disabilities include mental retardation, visual deficits, and oropharyngeal airway obstruction. Treatment is based on patient age and clinical severity. This article reviews the imaging manifestation of the most common forms of craniosynostosis with an emphasis on plain film and CT appearance of the disease. We also briefly review the appearance of common mimickers of suture pathology.
