Contribution to the histological and microradiographic study of the craniostenosis.

The authors describe the microradiographical and histological aspects of ill sutures in cases of trigonocephalies, brachycephalies and oxycephalies. This is based on the study of fragments coming from 30 cases of craniostenosis. They question the responsibility of the dura mater and invoke an encephalic cause producing by error forces at the level of the sutural areas. They also stress the absence of chondroid tissue at this particular level.
