Abstract
The hyperostosis of the sagittal and metopic synostotic sutures is generally more remarkable over the outer table, whereas coronal synostosis is characterized by exuberant hyperostosis along the inner table. Therefore, the synostosed sagittal suture may be lifted easily and safely from the superior sagittal sinus, since it is not adherent to this structure. The synostosed coronal suture, conversely, invariably protrudes into the underlying dura and is generally adherent to it.
