Anatomie des Neugeborenen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Schädels und der oberen Halswirbelsäule

The fontanels and the syndesmoses of the calvaria as well as the synchondroses of the cranial base act as areas of great flexibility and enable the cranial fault to adapt to the maternal labor channel during birth. The knowledge of the anatomical differences of the cranium and the cervical spine in this age build up the baseline for understanding the symptoms that may occur in case of birth trauma.
