• There is complete fusion of the coronal suture (white arrows) with a prominent frontal bone and flattened occiput.
• Coronal reconstruction (D) demonstrates prominent bilateral elliptical orbits, known as the "harlequin eye" deformity.
• arrowheads in E show the early partial fusion of the right coronal suture.
