Abstract
•Lincoln had a mild unicoronal craniosynostosis.•Trait was in 7 of progeny.•A son also had a cleft palate.
The most easily recognized facial features of unilateral premature closure of a coronal suture in the skull are an upward arching of the superior orbital rim and a smaller face on the involved side. Photographs indicate that at least 9 individuals over 5 generations of the Abraham Lincoln family showed this anomaly.
