Unlikely: Metopic synostosis is more a cosmetic issue than anything else.The majority of babies are born with that suture already functionally closed in the womb. Some have a pronounced keel shaped forehead that fades as they get older, but it does not create the same type of problems we find with other forms of synostosis.
