Introduction: Trigonocephaly (TC), the tapering of the metopic suture toward the anterior, lateral inadequacy of supraorbital bar, hypoplasia of the ethmoid bone, and hypotelorism due to orbital medialization leads to a triangular shape in the head together with frontotemporal stenosis and widening of the biparietal diameter.
