This axial (cross-sectional) CT image of the head shows a bony ridge along the front (near the top) of the skull caused by premature closure (fusion) of the metopic suture. The term used for premature closure of the cranial sutures is craniosynostosis. The most common suture which prematurely fuses is the sagital suture | |
