The cranial sutures eventually close within the first couple of years following birth, after the brain has finished growing.

The bones of the human skull are joined together by cranial sutures (see figure 1).

In old age, cranial sutures may ossify (turn to bone) completely.

He had very serious tooth decay and "advanced fusion of cranial sutures".

The skull bones in adults are fused and do not show cranial sutures.

It is believed to be an adult specimen, since some of the cranial sutures are very difficult to distinguish.

Studies examining the age of the closure of the cranial sutures have reported mixed findings.

Cranial sutures are the areas in which the eight cranial bones are joined.

Subsequently true premature bony fusion of cranial sutures may elevate intracranial pressure.

"Her cranial sutures haven't fully closed."

In infants and small children, the effects of ICP differ because their cranial sutures have not closed.

In addition to spinal manipulation, other adjustive procedures can be performed to the extremity joints and cranial sutures.

The Wormian bones (small bones that fill gaps in the cranial sutures) are named after him.

Cranial sutures are conventionally understood to be immobile after fusion, preventing movement between cranial bones.

Aside from anomalies in the positions of some cranial sutures and the mental foramina, the Tanu skull seemed almost completely humanoid.

In addition, the cranial sutures often fuse unevenly, causing the head and face to appear dissimilar from one side to the other (craniofacial asymmetry).

The Canon included numerous discussions on anatomy and diagrams on certain body parts, including the first diagrams of the cranial sutures.

One such condition is encephaloceles, which among other things, can cause separation of the cranial sutures and result in a depression, or cleft, in the head.

The petrosquamous suture is a cranial suture between the petrous portion and the squama of the temporal bone.

The crania (brain cases) of most vertebrates consist of sets of bony plates held together by cranial sutures.

Most of the cranial sutures that outline individual bones of the skull are not visible in the holotype, and are often obscured by cracks.

The Sphenoethmoidal suture is the cranial suture between the sphenoid bone and the ethmoid bone.

In human anatomy, the asterion is a visible, so-called craniometric, point on the exposed skull, just behind the ear, where three cranial sutures meet:

Some cephalic disorders occur when the cranial sutures (the fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull) join prematurely.
