Skull shape abnormalities in ischemic cerebrovascular and mental diseases in adults

Abstract Morphological changes in the child skull due to mechanical and metabolic stimulation and synostosis of the suture are well known. On the other hand, few studies have focused on clinical conditions relevant for adult skull deformity. We retrospectively reviewed computed tomography (CT) findi...

On the other hand, few studies have focused on clinical conditions relevant for adult skull deformity.
