Craniosynostosis, caused by premature fusion of the sutures, may be syndromic or non-syndromic. Radiology has an important role to play in the assessment, management and follow-up of these patients. Initial investigations may often be undertaken within general radiology departments. An understanding of the terminology and recognition of the predictable patterns of presentation are essential to enable appropriate referral to a craniofacial unit where further investigation and management are undertaken. We present the radiological features of several craniosynostoses with an emphasis on the role of plain radiography. We demonstrate the complementary role of computed tomography in their evaluation within the setting of a specialist centre.
颅缝早闭是由颅骨缝过早融合引起的，可分为综合征型或非综合征型。放射学在这些患者的评估、管理和随访中发挥着重要作用。初步检查通常可在普通放射科进行。了解相关术语并识别可预测的表现模式对于将患者适当转诊至颅面外科单位进行进一步检查和管理至关重要。我们介绍几种颅缝早闭的放射学特征，重点强调平片的作用。我们展示了计算机断层扫描在专科中心环境下对其评估中的补充作用。
