Craniosynostosis is the premature closure of one or more of the cranial sutures.
Congenital hydrocephalus is characterized by enlargement of the cerebral ventricles.
Microcephaly is lack of brain growth with retarded mental and motor development.
In acrania,the cranial vault is almost completely absent; an extensive defect of the vertebral column often is present.
