What can go wrong? failure of specification -organ or structure anlage (precursor) failed to form failure of differentiation -incorrect organ or structure anlage formed failure of proper morphogenesis
E N D
What can go wrong? • failure of specification -organ or structure anlage (precursor) failed to form • failure of differentiation -incorrect organ or structure anlage formed • failure of proper morphogenesis -organ or structure failed to preform proper morphogenic movements or interactions with other structures • Causes: • chromosomal anomalies • epigenetic factors • uterine constraints • secondary effects from extraembryonic defects • exposure to teratogens, either biological or chemical
Craniosynostosis Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one (“simple”) or more (“compound”) of the cranial sutures. Incidence: 1 per 1,800-2,200 births The sagittal suture is affected in 40 to 60 percent of cases, the coronal suture in 20 to 30 percent of cases, and the frontal suture in less than 10 percent of cases. True lambdoid synostosis is rare. This premature fusion occurs before completion of bone growth, resulting in a deformed skull and cranial vault. Virchow's Law: With a prematurely fused suture, skull growth is restricted in the plane perpendicular to the affected suture and enhanced in a plane parallel to the affected suture.
