Difference in anterior fontanelle closure between non-syndromic craniosynostosis and normal controls: a retrospective cross-sectional study
Anterior fontanelle measurements, particularly closure timing and size, have potential as assistant markers for the early identification of craniosynostosis. However, definitive diagnosis requires clinical evaluation and imaging confirmation. These findings underscore the importance of early recognition and intervention in craniosynostosis to prevent complications.
