We report of a rare case of a persistent metopic suture in an adult male which was imaged using high resolution gradient echo magnetic resonance imaging. A curved surface reconstruction was performed along the cranial surface for an improved visualization of the suture. Although very rare clinicians and radiologists should be aware of this condition in order to avoid misdiagnoses, for example as vertical facture.
