What condition arises from the premature fusion of the coronal suture?
Explanation
Premature closure of the coronal suture leads to brachycephaly, characterized by a shortened front-to-back skull length. Other options represent different cranial suture fusions: oxycephaly involves the sagittal and coronal sutures, trigonocephaly results from metopic suture fusion, and scaphocephaly is due to sagittal suture fusion.
