bregma

The bregma is often used as a reference point for stereotactic surgery of the brain.

The bregma is known as the anterior fontanelle during infancy.

Bregma comes from the Greek bregma, meaning top of the head.

The point at which the two parietal bones and frontal bones meet is known as "Bregma".

The bregma is formed by the intersection of the sagittal and coronal sutures.

Two anatomical landmarks are found on the sagittal suture: the bregma, and the vertex of the skull.

In the congenital disorder cleidocranial dysostosis, the anterior fontanelle never closes to form the bregma.

The point where the coronal suture intersects with the sagittal suture forms a T-shape and is called the bregma.

The bregma is the anatomical point on the skull at which the coronal suture is intersected perpendicularly by the sagittal suture.

The bregma is located at the intersection of the coronal suture and the sagittal suture on the superior middle portion of the calvarium.

Also, Cautiousness (high development on the parietal eminence) and Firmness (a lofty sagittal suture from behind the bregma to the front of the obelion).

A cooled (-70 C) 2-mm diameter stainless steel probe was placed on the skull approximately 2 mm lateral of the sagittal suture overlying bregma for 5 sec.

Their scientific name is from Greek bregma meaning the top of the head, and keras meaning "horn"; this refers to their occipital ray (a spine emerging from the top of the head).

The frontal angle is practically a right angle, and corresponds with the point of meeting of the sagittal and coronal sutures; this point is named the bregma; in the fetal skull and for about a year and a half after birth this region is membranous, and is called the anterior fontanelle.
