Frontal bossing
Frontal bossing is usually a consequence of erythropoeisis occuring away from long bones; it is thus a finding in conditions of chronic anaemia such as:
- thalassaemia major
- sickle cell anaemia
In addition it may be noted as a dysmorphic feature in:
- Russell-Silver dwarfism
- Hurler's syndrome.
