Skull (Anatomy) - Medical Encyclopedia

Normally the skull protects the brain from damage through its hard unyieldingness, but in some cases <bb>>ofb>bb>> head injury, there can be raised intracranial pressure through mechanisms such as a subdural haematoma).
It is made up <bb>>ofb>bb>> a number <bb>>ofb>bb>> bony parts - 7 in the skull proper (neurocranium) and 14 in the facial area (splanchnocranium).
The sections are fused together in adults along <<<bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>>suturesb>bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>> - metopic, coronal, sagittal and lambdoid.

eMedicine - Craniosynostosis : Article by Spyros Sgouros, MD, FRCS(SN)(Glasg)

His views changed the entire concept <bb>>ofb>bb>> surgical treatment <bb>>ofb>bb>> craniosynostosis, moving it from excision <bb>>ofb>bb>> affected <<<bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>>suturesb>bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>> with linear craniectomies to complex cranial expansion procedures, addressing the restriction at the skull base.
He concluded that the main mechanism leading to cranial deformity in most types <bb>>ofb>bb>> craniosynostosis was abnormal growth at the level <bb>>ofb>bb>> the skull base, rather than the actual fused <<<bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>>suturesb>bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>>, and that skull growth follows brain development.
Also, different types <bb>>ofb>bb>> craniosynostosis have been shown to have differential growth <bb>>ofb>bb>> the skull vault and skull base, caused by differential pathological involvement <bb>>ofb>bb>> the <<<bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>>suturesb>bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>> <bb>>ofb>bb>> the anterior and posterior skull base, supporting earlier views that the <<<bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>>suturesb>bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>> <bb>>ofb>bb>> the skull base are implicated in the morphogenesis <bb>>ofb>bb>> some types <bb>>ofb>bb>> craniosynostosis.
