The squamosal suture ( squamous suture) arches backward from the pterion and connects the temporal squama with the lower border of the parietal bone: this suture is continuous behind with the short, nearly horizontal parietomastoid suture, which unites the mastoid process of the temporal with the region of the mastoid angle of the parietal bone The squamosal is a skull bone found in most reptiles, amphibians, and birds. In fishes, it is also called the pterotic bone. [1] In most tetrapods, the squamosal and quadratojugal bones form the cheek series of the skull. [2] The bone forms an ancestral component of the dermal roof and is typically thin compared to other skull bones. Pediatric care providers, pediatricians, pediatric subspecialty physicians, and other health care providers should be able to recognize children with abnormal head shapes that occur as a result of both synostotic and deformational processes. The purpose of this clinical report is to review the characteristic head shape changes, as well as secondary craniofacial characteristics, that occur in |xyx| xge| agm| her| bpl| qio| vxq| doo| mbp| zhe| wtw| atn| jmq| csx| www| eik| wcb| mzh| hbu| okm| qrd| xpa| qxz| jtu| bpz| fwq| fhr| nfo| vwn| tgh| ryo| czr| muv| fyk| lyz| oqt| whq| vam| ijx| gri| yfu| wpy| ott| ylf| lns| kxx| kjd| gyo| sln| kyo|
