Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder that results in dwarfism.

Anterior fontanelle
The anterior fontanelle (bregmatic fontanelle, frontal fontanelle) is the largest fontanelle, and is placed at the junction of the sagittal suture, coronal suture, and frontal suture; it is lozenge-shaped, and measures about 4 cm in its antero-posterior and 2.5 cm in its transverse diameter.

Coronal suture
The coronal suture is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint that separates the frontal and parietal bones of the skull.
New!!: Fontanelle and Coronal suture · See more »
Craniosynostosis
Craniosynostosis (from cranio, cranium; + syn, together; + ostosis relating to bone) is a condition in which one or more of the fibrous sutures in an infant (very young) skull prematurely fuses by turning into bone (ossification), thereby changing the growth pattern of the skull.

Dehydration
In physiology, dehydration is a deficit of total body water, with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes.

Lambda (anatomy)
The occipital angle is rounded and corresponds with the point of meeting of the sagittal and the lambdoid suture—a point which is termed the lambda (after the Greek letter of the same name whose lowercase form resembles the junction formed by the sutures); in the fetus this part of the skull is membranous, and is called the posterior fontanelle.
