The Deformation Analysis of Cranium and Cranial Suture in Mice Subjected to Internal Pressure by FEM

Sutures are the joints between the bones of skull, a tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance of skull. Craniosynostosis is a disease in which some or all of the sutures in the skull of an infant close too early, causing problems with normal growth of brain and/or skull. Craniosynostosis can only be cured with operation, but someone has try to use helmet to adjust this condition. This study uses cranial from 2-month-old mice with shadow Moiré to measure its 3-D profile, and use this result to build ANSYS model, and to simulate the condition of Craniosynostosis with ANSYS. The results are then compared with existed symptom of Craniosynostosis.
