Pediatric unilateral coronal synostosis - Children's Health
Unilateral coronal craniosynostosis causes about 15% of all isolated craniosynostosis cases. Unlike sagittal and metopic suture craniosynostosis where the changes in the head shape are symmetric, closure of one coronal suture creates a significant uneven …
Unilateral Coronal Synostosis - EyeWiki
Unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) is a disorder resulting from the premature fusion of a coronal suture on one side of the skull. It occurs in approximately 1/10,000 live births. UCS is most often non-syndromic, present in the absence of other premature sutural fusion, and accounts for 12%-24% of non-syndromic craniosynostosis.
Craniosynostosis: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment ...
Unilateral (one side) coronal craniosynostosis causes a rotated appearance to the face with flattening of the forehead and elevation of the eye socket roof on the affected side along with rotation of the nose. Sometimes the anterior fontanel is somewhat displaced to the opposite side.
Non-syndromic Craniosynostosis - Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Non-syndromic craniosynostosis is a non-inherited, isolated finding without related anomalies such as disorders of the limbs, ears or cardiovascular system. It typically involves the early closure of a single growth seam, or suture, in your child’s skull.

Unilateral Coronal Craniosynostosis. Unilateral coronal craniosynostosis (frontal plagiocephaly) is the second most common form of craniosynostosis. This occurs slightly more commonly in girls and occurs in 20-25% of cases. The coronal suture runs across the skull from right to left.
Craniosynostosis - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic
Premature fusion of one of the coronal sutures (unicoronal) that run from each ear to the top of the skull may cause the forehead to flatten on the affected side and bulge on the unaffected side. It also leads to turning of the nose and a raised eye socket on the affected side.
Craniosynostosis | Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment
Characteristic features include coronal synostosis (usually unilateral) with limited growth in the anterior cranial base. Children may also have a low set hairline, eyelid abnormalities, facial asymmetry and mild to moderate developmental delay.
Craniosynostosis - Boston Children's Hospital
Coronal synostosis causes fused bones along the suture that runs from the ear to the baby’s fontanelle or “soft spot.” If the fusion is on one side only, it’s a unilateral coronal synostosis; if it affects both sides, it’s a bilateral coronal synostosis.
Guideline on Treatment and Management of Craniosynostosis: …
Craniosynostosis concerns a congenital skull defect, in which 1 or more cranial sutures are already fused before birth. The cranial sutures are located between the bone plates of the skull and allow for the rapid growth of the skull in the first 2 years of life. The growth of the skull is largely controlled by the growth of the brain.
Sagittal synostosis, also known as scaphocephaly, is the most common form of craniosynostosis. Unilateral coronal synostosis is also known as anterior plagiocephaly. Metopic synostosis, also known as trigonocephaly, is a less common form of craniosynostosis; however, metopic ridging is …
