From a series of 1,713 patients with craniosynostosis hospitalized between 1976 and 1996, 237 propositi with metopic synostosis were analyzed. The prevalence of metopic synostosis was estimated in the order of 1 in 15,000 children. Family information was obtained from 184 propositi from 179 families. The male-to-female ratio was 3.3:1. There was no maternal or paternal age effect. A family history was obtained in 10 of the 179 families, giving a 5.6% figure of familial cases. The frequency of twinning was 7.8% with two concordances for metopic synostosis in two monozygotic twin pairs. The male-to-female ratio, the twinning frequency, and the proportion of familial cases in trigonocephaly are very similar to those observed in scaphocephaly, which also involves the longitudinal sutural system. Fetal exposure to valproic acid was noticed in eight cases. The series was divided into two groups: nonsyndromal trigonocephaly (n = 184) and trigonocephaly associated with other malformations (n = 53). The second group included 13 cases of well-delineated syndromes and 40 cases of trigonocephaly associated with one or more malformations, but without any known syndrome, that could be undelineated syndromes. These groups differed significantly in their mental prognosis.
