Abstract
- The spheno-occipital synchondrosis is a driver of cranial base and facial growth. Its premature fusion has been associated with midface hypoplasia in animal models. The authors reviewed computed tomographic scans of patients with Apert and Muenke syndrome, craniosynostosis syndromes with midface hypoplasia, to assess premature fusion of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis when compared with normal controls.
