Using standard search engines PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, Cochrane, Science Direct and Medline, 433 articles were found to
evaluate the information about sutural bones. Thirty-six articles that match our stated objectives about sutural bones were
analyzed. Data were evaluated in the current medical literature for their historical aspects, anatomical classification, development, clinically significance and their presence in some bone dysplasias. There is still dispute on whether sutural bone
development is influenced by genetic or external factors. Sutural bones are a known sporadic occurrence in the human cranium and do not predispose a person to any particular disease. Their presence, however, is commonly used as a useful marker of some underlying genetic disorders.
