  1. occipitomastoid suture

    The occipitomastoid suture is a cranial joint located between the occipital bone and the mastoid portion of the temporal bone in the skull. This sutural connection is important for the structure and shape of the skull. Like other sutures in the skull, it acts like a flexible joint that allows slight movement, assisting in the process of childbirth and brain growth during infancy. Over time, the suture typically fuses and becomes a rigid joint.
