Ultrasound shape of the crania was seen by measuring a frozen sonogram of the Biparietal Diameter (BPD) and Cranial Index (CI). The objective aims to report the value of prenatal ultrasound in identifying acute frontotemporal depression. Also, to review specific developmental skull anatomy as it relates to the formation of cranial and fontanelle anomaly. Little data exists on the prevalence of this rare heterogeneous condition; 1 in 3,600 live births with genetic or hereditary factors responsible for most cases. The report in question was observed under routine ultrasound at 26 weeks gestation. Better understanding of fetal skull development (through sonar), and calvaric sutures will further help sonologists in evaluation of fetal brain. Ongoing research developments can be used to further evaluate cranial ‘osteo’ development as a consequence of synchondrosis and multiple suture unity.Â
