Aim of the study

• To characterize changes of lambdoid suture in NSOP
• To establish radiographic criteria for NSOP
• To compare affected sutures in NSOP and LC

Materials and Methods

• CT scans children clinically diagnosed with NSOP and LC were evaluated by both Neuroradiologist and Craniofacial Surgeon to compare:
  • lambdoid suture
  • cranial morphology
  • ear position

• Statistical analysis was performed
• CT scans of 26 children with NSOP
  • 18 male, 8 female
  • 12 right side, 8 left side, 6 bilateral
  • 7 children diagnosed with LC
  • 5 male, 2 female
  • 4 left side, 3 right side
