Further back on the braincase, the lambdoid crest is also prominent.

The sagittal crest is not present, while the lambdoid crest is well developed.

They occur most frequently in the course of the lambdoid suture, which is more "tortuous" than other sutures.

In infants this usually corresponds with the lambdoid suture in the mid pupillary line.

If the lambdoid suture closes too soon on one side, the skull will appear twisted and asymmetrical, a condition called "plagiocephaly."

A number of minor skeletal aberrations were also reported in the infant, including wormian bones at the lambdoid sutures.

Congenital causes include hydrocephalus, craniosynostosis (especially of the lambdoid suture), hyperostosis (ex.

The metopic synostosis comes third with 5 to 15% and the lambdoid synostosis is only seen in 0 to 5% of nonsyndromic cases.

The lesser, or posterior fontanel, is represented by a small triangular area at the intersection of the sagittal and lambdoid sutures.

Compensatory growth will occur sideways, due to the sagittal suture, and upwards, due to the lambdoid sutures.

Related viruses with similar genomic transcription patterns and life cycles include bacteriophage λ and all the other lambdoid phages.

Malformation of the facial bones or of the eye sockets (lambdoid suture defects, sphenoid dysplasia)

Like lambda phage and other lambdoid phages, HK97 has a double-stranded DNA genome.

The suture begins to close at age twenty-nine, starting at where it intersects at the lambdoid suture and working forward.

That point where the sagittal suture intersects the lambdoid suture is called the lambda, because of its resemblance to the Greek letter.

'A single wound of entry situated in the right parietal bone just anterior to the lambdoid suture and close to the saggital suture.

The occipital border, deeply denticulated (finely toothed), articulates with the occipital bone, forming half of the lambdoid suture.

The infant's skull consists of the metopic suture, coronal sutures, sagittal suture, and lambdoid sutures.

Unilateral lambdoid synostosis is also called posterior plagiocephaly, indicating that this gives, just like unilateral coronal synostosis, a 'skew head'.

The derivation of this term may be demonstrated by observing how the sagittal suture is notched posteriorly, like an arrow, by the lambdoid suture.

Shiga toxins are a family of related toxins with two major groups, Stx1 and Stx2, whose genes are considered to be part of the genome of lambdoid prophages.

The braincase is somewhat inflated and bears well-developed temporal and lambdoid crests relative to the situation in A. caenosus; Akodon polopi, however, has even better developed crests.

It is crossed in front by the coronal suture and behind by the lambdoid suture, while the sagittal suture lies in the medial plane between the parietal bones.

The lambdoid suture (or lambdoidal suture) is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint on the posterior aspect of the skull that connects the parietal bones with the occipital bone.

If you take in the skull sutures, too, you can see here that the sagittal suture shows some signs of endocranial closure, but the occipital and the lambdoid sutures are still wide open.
