The coronal suture (also called the coronary suture) is a connective tissue Suture (suture) between the frontal bone (Os frontale) and the two parietal bones (Ossa parietalia) of the skull.
Anatomy
At the point where the coronal suture crosses the superior temporal line, the Stephanion is located.
Clinical relevance
The coronal suture serves as an important intraoperative anatomical landmark. Like every suture, the coronal suture is considered an anatomical weak point, and traumatic forces can cause separation of the suture. Intraoperatively, hydrogen peroxide can be used to improve visualization of sutures.
