History [ edit ] In former times people born with malformed skulls were rejected based upon their appearance. [1] [60] This still persists today in various parts of the world even though the intellectual development is often normal. [2] The Austrian physician[en.wikipedia.org]
Children with metopic synostosis usually fall into one of three categories. No other malformations are present and normal development is expected.[sickkids.ca]

Our findings suggest that the normal continuum may begin earlier than the literature suggests. In the setting of sagittal synostosis, the influence of metopic suture fusion and treatment is best determined by individual morphologic analysis.[uncch.pure.elsevier.com]
As recently concerns about harmful effects of ionising radiation in children have been raised, some authors have suggested the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a helpful alternative in preoperative imaging of patients with isolated metopic synostosis[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Considering the family history, this is suggestive for a novel, variable autosomal dominant craniosynostosis syndrome with possibility of gonadal mosaicism or non-penetrance.[nature.com]
Although it is rare for single suture craniosynostoses to be passed from generation to generation in families, there are some reports suggesting heredity may play a role.[med.unc.edu]
The findings suggest that the skull defect itself does not cause speech and language problems in children with metopic stenosis, but highlight the need for monitoring to assess long-term development in children who have undergone craniofacial surgery,[newswise.com]

Prognosis In general, a single operation is all that is necessary to treat this condition and the cosmetic and clinical outcomes are usually excellent especially for otherwise healthy, nonsyndromic infants.[skullbaseinstitute.com]
