Conclusion

• Cranial sutures
  • Open - infants
  • Closed - adults
  • Obliterated - craniosynostosis (not prematurely fused)
  • Deformed or "sticky" - non-synostotic plagiocephaly
• Changes in lamboid suture previously considered to be LC:
  • endocranial heaping
  • focal fusions
  • sutural narrowing
  • perisutural thinning
  • sclerosis
• LC is not unique among craniosynostosis:
  • suture obliteration
  • compensatory bossing
