The most common form of craniosynostosis is synostosis of sagittal suture followed by scaphocephaly. There are some head deformities similar to scaphocephaly such as positional and constitutional dolichocephaly, etc. These patients have no sagittal suture synostosis. However, there are difficulties in differential diagnosis between these deformities and scaphocephaly. Objective. To develop differential diagnostic criteria between dolichocephalic head deformities and true scaphocephaly following sagittal synostosis. Material and methods. The study included 33 patients with dolichocephaly (25 (75.8%) boys and 8 (24.2%) girls) between December 2013 and August 2022. The inclusion criterion was available CT or ultrasound data confirming or excluding sagittal synostosis. Age of patients was 8.62\u00b17.71 (1.77\u201436) months. We analyzed anamnestic, clinical and radiological data. Radiological data was compared with diagnostic findings in 20 patients with scaphocephaly. Both groups were comparable in age, gender and cranial index. Results. We present clinical and radiological signs, as well as algorithm for differential diagnosis between scaphocephaly and dolichocephaly. Conclusion. There are objective difficulties in differential diagnosis between scaphocephaly following sagittal synostosis and dolichocephalic head deformities. In most cases, we cannot establish the cause of congenital forms of dolichocephaly. The most likely causes may be pre- and postnatal compressive and positional effects. Ultrasound of skull sutures is preferable for differential diagnosis between these abnormalities. Correction of dolichocephaly can be carried out according to aesthetic indications with individual cranial orthoses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17116\/neiro20238704174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,31]],"date-time":"2023-08-31T09:09:30Z","timestamp":1693472970000},"page":"74","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Difficulties in differential diagnosis of sagittal synostosis (scaphocephaly)"],"prefix":"10.17116","volume":"87","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2051-1855","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L.A.","family":"Satanin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Burdenko Neurosurgical Center","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4723-7139","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N.N.","family":"Dzhandzhgava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kulakov Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6254-1203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.A.","family":"Evteev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lomonosov Moscow State University, Research Institute and Museum of Anthropology","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4895-233X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N.A.","family":"Chernikova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Burdenko Neurosurgical Center","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5119-6814","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.V.","family":"Sakharov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Burdenko Neurosurgical Center","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0732-0942","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.L.","family":"Ivanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V.A.","family":"Tere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Burdenko Neurosurgical Center","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0549-855X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V.V.","family":"Roginsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery","place":["Moscow, Russia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"6743","reference":[{"key":"key-10.17116\/neiro20238704174-1","unstructured":"Roginsky VV, Khachatryan VA, Satanin LA, Kim AV, Ivanov VP, Samochernykh KA, Solonichenko VG, Glagolev NV, Zemlyanikin VV, Ivanov AL, Kabanyan AB, Letyagin GV, Pak OI, Semenova ZhB, Timershin AG, Shamkhalov HSh, Sakharov AV, Iova AS.
