Anterior Fontanelle Wormian Bone/ Fontanellar Bone: A Review of this Rare Anomaly with Case Illustration
Wormian bones are a relatively rare skeletal anomaly that present as accessory bone(s) within the sutures of the cranium and even more rarely within the fontanelles. It is believed that they arise from the formation of abnormal cranial ossification centers. Although not extensively reported in the literature, this anomaly is thought to be associated with other anatomical anomalies such as osteo...
متن کاملSome observations on the closure of the anterior fontanelle.
Early observers (Elsasser, 1843; Friedleben, 1860; Roger, 1859) have claimed that the dimensions of the anterior fontanelle of the human skull increase from the time of birth until about the age of 9 months, and that it is, as a rule, closed at the age of 18 months. Scammon (1923), reviewing this literature, challenged these observations on the grounds that the material studied involved Europea...
متن کاملInvestigation of photoplethysmographs from the anterior fontanelle of neonates.
Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals have been investigated at a new anatomical site, the anterior fontanelle (ANTF), on the hypothesis that blood supply at this location is preferentially preserved during cases of poor peripheral circulation which might cause the commercial pulse oximeters to fail to estimate accurately arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). Two custom built reflectance PPG se...
متن کاملA Wormian Bone, Mimicking an Entry Gunshot Wound of the Skull, in an Anthropological Specimen.
Wormian bones (WB) are irregular small cranial ossicles found along suture lines and fontanels. In Brazil, gunshot wounds to the skull are quite common in young individuals. Nevertheless, as far as we know, this is the first report of a WB giving an erroneous aspect of gunshot entrance due to its displacement position. The present manuscript describes the case of a Brazilian young man who died ...
