Lorsque le crâne est fermé, mais non encore complètement ossifié, c'est-à-dire entre 2 et 15 ans environ, la disjonction des sutures est à peine moins marquée que chez le nourrisson à crâne «ouvert», mais la pression du cerveau sur l'endocrâne est plus forte, d'où l'exagération des empreintes cérébriformes qui donnent des «images de pommelure» très caractéristiques de l'hypertension intracrânienne. 2, record 1, French, - image%20de%20pommelure
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les empreintes digitiformes peuvent indiquer une hypertension intracrânienne lorsqu'elles sont augmentées en nombre et surtout en volume; en fait, on ne peut retenir formellement leur caractère pathologique que si elles sont associées à d'autres signes d'hypertension intracrânienne. Des empreintes digitiformes très marquées font évoquer une craniosténose lorsqu'il existe une fermeture prématurée des sutures. 2, record 1, French, - image%20de%20pommelure
