Plagiocepiialy (Slaxtixo Sktll) Premature synostosis may be limited to the sutures of one-half of the skull, in consequence of Avhich there is an asym-metrical development of the latter. Upon the side of the su-ture obliteration the growth is retarded, while upon the otherside there occurs a compensatory expansion of the skull. V>c-. Fig. 13. — .\ sinistrodextral exposure of the liead of 3, page 11. This isa case of scaphocephalus resulting from suture ossification and is associated witlierosion of the inner surface of the skull and deepening of the vein furrows. l^ycomparing this i)icture with Fig. 11 one obtains a very clear idea of the difference inthe shape of turriceidialy and scaphocephaly.
