Everything about The Sagittal Suture totally explained
The
sagittal suture is a dense, fibrous
connective tissue joint between the two
parietal bones of the
skull. At birth, the bones of the skull don't meet. If certain bones of the skull grow too fast then "premature closure" of the sutures may occur. This can result in skull deformities. If the sagittal suture closes early the skull becomes long, narrow, and wedge-shaped, a condition called "
scaphocephaly."
Two anatomical landmarks are found on the sagittal suture: the
bregma and the
vertex of the skull. The bregma is formed by the intersection of the sagittal and
coronal sutures, and the vertex is the highest point on the skull and is many times near the midpoint of the sagittal suture.
The sagittal suture is also known as the "interparietal suture" and the "sutura interparietalis."
