Definition
The parietal margin of frontal bone is the rear edge of the squamous portion of frontal bone. It connects with both the right and left parietal bones, creating the coronal suture in the skull.
Where the parietal margin of frontal bone meets the two parietal bones, indicating the point where the coronal and sagittal sutures intersect, is called the bregma.
