A form of non-syndromic multisutural craniosynostosis characterised by premature fusion of the metopic and sagittal sutures, resulting in trigonocephaly and scaphocephaly but with mild frontal bossing.	Associated morphology	True	Premature fusion	Inferred relationship	Some	2
A form of non-syndromic multisutural craniosynostosis characterised by premature fusion of the bicoronal and metopic sutures, resulting in brachycephaly and trigonocephaly.	Associated morphology	True	Premature fusion	Inferred relationship	Some	1

A form of non-syndromic multisutural craniosynostosis characterised by premature fusion of the bicoronal and metopic sutures, resulting in brachycephaly and trigonocephaly.	Associated morphology	True	Premature fusion	Inferred relationship	Some	3
A form of non-syndromic multisutural craniosynostosis characterised by premature fusion of the unicoronal and sagittal sutures, resulting in anterior plagiocephaly with contralateral frontal bulging and elongated head shape (turricephaly). Orbital abnormality and strabismus are associated features.	Associated morphology	True	Premature fusion	Inferred relationship	Some	1
A form of non-syndromic multisutural craniosynostosis characterised by premature fusion of the unicoronal and sagittal sutures, resulting in anterior plagiocephaly with contralateral frontal bulging and elongated head shape (turricephaly). Orbital abnormality and strabismus are associated features.	Associated morphology	True	Premature fusion	Inferred relationship	Some	2
A form of non-syndromic unisutural craniosynostosis characterised by the premature fusion of the suture between the frontal and sphenoid bones of the newborn, leading to frontal flattening and asymmetry of the forehead with recession of the supraorbital rim on the fused side of the head.	Associated morphology	True	Premature fusion	Inferred relationship	Some	1
A form of non-syndromic unisutural craniosynostosis characterized by premature fusion of one of the two squamosal sutures. Most cases of isolated unilateral squamosal craniosynostosis are normocephalic. The risk of increased intracranial pressure is low.	Associated morphology	True	Premature fusion	Inferred relationship	Some	1
A form of non-syndromic unisutural craniosynostosis characterized by premature fusion of one of the two lambdoid sutures, resulting in ipsilateral occipitoparietal flattening, contralateral parietal and frontal bossing, occipitomastoid bulge, and posterior-inferior displacement of the ipsilateral ear. The skull appears trapezoid from above, while the face is typically C-shaped with ipsilateral convexity.	Associated morphology	True	Premature fusion	Inferred relationship	Some	1
A form of non-syndromic multisutural craniosynostosis characterised by bilateral premature fusion of the lambdoid sutures, resulting in flattening and widening of the entire occipital region, with compensatory bossing of the vertex region (giving the cranium an elongated shape), and anterior-posterior displacement of the ears.
