Porotic hyperostosis and the Gelligaer skull.
The differential diagnosis of the bony lesions known as porotic hyperostosis found on a Bronze Age child's skull is discussed. Keith and Shattock gave an opinion in 1923 that the cause was rickets. A firm conclusion is not reached in this paper, but it is suggested that it was more likely to have been an iron-deficiency anaemia.
متن کاملEarliest Porotic Hyperostosis on a 1.5-Million-Year-Old Hominin, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania
Meat-eating was an important factor affecting early hominin brain expansion, social organization and geographic movement. Stone tool butchery marks on ungulate fossils in several African archaeological assemblages demonstrate a significant level of carnivory by Pleistocene hominins, but the discovery at Olduvai Gorge of a child's pathological cranial fragments indicates that some hominins proba...
متن کاملSkull Parosteal Lipoma with Reactive Hyperostosis: A Case Report
A 50-year-old female presented with more than 20-year history of a large subcutaneous mass in the left parieto-occipital portion. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed the lipomatous mass to show a high signal intensity in both T1- and T2-weighted images. A part of the lipomatous lesion progressed into the underlying hyperostosis and skull. The preoperative diagnosis was skull invasion of a ...
متن کاملExtirpolation of the Mythology That Porotic Hyperostosis Is Caused by Iron Deficiency Secondary to Dietary Shift to Maize
Diagnosing a shift to a maize-dominant diet, on the basis of recognition of high population frequencies of porotic hyperostosis, has unfortunately entered the “collective consciousness” of anthropology—because of the mythology that iron deficiency is a common cause of that phenomenon. Skull changes in patients with all forms (both primary and secondary) of iron deficiency are actually extremely...
متن کاملIgG4-related intracranial hypertrophic pachymeningitis with skull hyperostosis: a case report
BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a systemic syndrome, characterized by sclerosing lesions and usually associated with a raised serum IgG4 level; the pancreas, salivary glands, and lacrimal glands are typically affected. Recently, it has been suggested that IgG4-related sclerosing disease represents a subset of cases previously diagnosed as idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeni...
