Malformations of the skull bones occur in impaired development of the embryo or fetus in the antenatal period. They are discovered at birth or in early childhood, and more often at child’s examination. Malformations of the skull bones described in the article were in the form of parietal foramina and were diagnosed accidentally without any child’s active complaints. However, at the CT scan of child’s father, a similar defect was found in his skull parietal bones. So, it can be stated that such a defect has a genetic predisposition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
