Abstract

The skull vault consists of a multitude of flat bones held together by the cranial sutures. Radiologists encounter a vast array of calvarial pathologies that tend to cause abnormalities in thickness, abnormalities in density, focal defects, or an excess of soft tissue or bone tissue. Further anomalies related to the cranial sutures and fontanelles occur in the dynamic pediatric skull. The imaging features of the host of conditions resulting in these commonly detected calvarial abnormalities are reviewed and illustrated.
