Figure kran_1a_n.jpg to kran_1h_n.jpg: Drawings of the main types of premature closure of the cranial sutures. A black line corresponds to one or several closed suture(s). Figure kran_1a_n.jpg: Lateral view and view from the top of the skull in sagittal synostosis. Figure kran_1b_n.jpg: Lateral view and view from the top in bilateral coronal synostosis. Figure kran_1c_n.jpg: View from the front and the top in unilateral (right) coronal synostosis. Figure kran_1d_n.jpg: View from the top in frontal (metopic) suture synostosis. Figure kran_1e_n.jpg: Lateral view and view from the top in bilateral lambdoid suture synostosis. Figure kran_1f_n.jpg: View from the top in unilateral (right) lambdoid suture synostosis. Figure kran_1g_n.jpg: Lateral view in closure of multiple sutures (oxycephaly as one variety of closure of multiple sutures). Figure kran_1h_n.jpg: View of a skull from the top in an example of a complex abnormality of the skull without closure of a suture.
