Sutura Lamboidea

Description: Sutura Lamboidea is a term used in medical anatomy to refer to the lambdoid suture, which is the joint where the parietal bones and the occipital bone meet at the back of the skull.

Sutures are fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull. The Sutura Lamboidea, in particular, is categorized as a dense, fibrous, immovable joint. It is named after its similarity to the Greek letter lambda (Λ) in shape.

In infants, the Sutura Lamboidea is flexible and is eventually replaced by a solid bone structure during skull development. Understanding the anatomy and characteristics of the Sutura Lamboidea is crucial for medical professionals in various fields, such as neurology and radiology.

1. The trauma patient suffered a fracture along the Sutura Lamboidea, requiring immediate medical attention.
2. During the autopsy, the forensic pathologist examined the integrity of the Sutura Lamboidea to determine the cause of death.
3. Neurosurgeons are skilled in navigating the intricate structures surrounding the Sutura Lamboidea.
