Kleeblattschaedel is a rare malformation of the head where there is a protrusion of the skull and broadening of the face. [2] This condition is a severe type of craniosynostosis. [3] The condition can be both isolated or associated with other craniofacial dysostosises.
The most severe form of pansynostosis is kleeblattschädel (cloverleaf skull), which presents with bulging of the different bones of the cranial vault. Kleeblattschädel is a feature of several conditions and can also be seen in nonsyndromic manifestations.
Beare–Stevenson cutis gyrata syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by craniosynostosis (premature fusion of certain bones of the skull, sometimes resulting in a characteristic 'cloverleaf skull'; further growth of the skull is prevented, and therefore the shape of the head and face is abnormal) and a specific skin abnormality ...
An unusual head shape called kleeblattschaedel ("cloverleaf skull") can be seen with type 2 thanatophoric dysplasia. Prognosis. The term thanatophoric is Greek for "death bearing". Children with this condition are usually stillborn or die shortly after birth from respiratory failure.
Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, characterized by the premature fusion of certain bones of the skull (craniosynostosis), which affects the shape of the head and face. The syndrome includes abnormalities of the hands and feet, such as wide and deviated thumbs and big toes.
Craniosynostosis, a condition in which the sutures of the head (joints between the bones of the skull) prematurely fuse and subsequently alter the shape of the head, is seen in multiple conditions, as listed below. The level of involvement varies by condition and can range from minor, single-suture craniosynostosis to major, multisutural ...
Artificial cranial deformation or modification, head flattening, or head binding is a form of body alteration in which the skull of a human being is deformed intentionally. It is done by distorting the normal growth of a child's skull by applying force.
Scaphocephaly, or sagittal craniosynostosis, is a type of cephalic disorder which occurs when there is a premature fusion of the sagittal suture. Premature closure results in limited lateral expansion of the skull resulting in a characteristic long, narrow head. [1] The skull base is typically spared. [2]
Craniofacial abnormality. Human skull. Specialty. Medical genetics. Craniofacial abnormalities are congenital musculoskeletal disorders which primarily affect the cranium and facial bones. [1] They are associated with the development of the pharyngeal arches. [2]
Turricephaly is a type of cephalic disorder where the head appears tall with a small length and width. [3] [4] It is due to premature closure of the coronal suture plus any other suture, like the lambdoid, [5] or it may be used to describe the premature fusion of all sutures. [2]
