Antenatal Ultrasound Imaging for Analysis of Human Craniosynostosis

The cranial sutures can be imaged sonographically in the fetus as early as the end of the first trimester; however, fetal position and maternal body habitus can present significant challenges to clear visualization. Antenatal identification of craniosynostosis is important for delivery planning, and...

Summary:The cranial sutures can be imaged sonographically in the fetus as early as the end of the first trimester; however, fetal position and maternal body habitus can present significant challenges to clear visualization. Antenatal identification of craniosynostosis is important for delivery planning, and there are a number of available ultrasound techniques and imaging signs to assist with accurate diagnosis of both single suture craniosynostosis and syndromic multisutural fusions.
