Persistent Metopic Suture in Adult Skulls of Andhra Pradesh
نویسنده
چکیده
Majority of Skull bones are held together by fibrous joints termed as sutures. At birth the two halves of frontal bone remain separate as the metopic suture which is replaced by bone at about 2 years. The persistence of this suture beyond 8 years of age is termed as metopism. The study was conducted on 90 adult human dry skulls. Among them 55 were obtained from department of anatomy RIMS Ongole, A.P. and 35 from department of Forensic Medicine, RIMS Ongole. the sutures were classified as complete and incomplete. Out of 90 skulls complete metopic suture is seen in 2skullsand incomplete metopic suture is seen in 4 skulls which is of linear type .The incidence of metopic suture in our present study is 6.66% and the incidence of complete metopic suture is 2.22% & the incidence of incomplete metopic suture is 4.44%. The knowledge of anatomy of metopic suture is important for radiologists, neurosurgeons, for treatment and autopsy surgeons for medicolegal cases. There is difference in the incidence of metopic suture in different races and different geographical

متن کاملInterparietal and pre-interparietal bones in the population of south coastal Andhra Pradesh, India.
The squamous occipital bone consists of two parts: a cartilaginous supraoccipital part below and a membranous interparietal (IP) part above the highest nuchal line. The IP part develops from two pairs of ossification centres which form the two lateral plates and a median central piece. Any anomalous ossification of these centres gives rise to IP bones. Occasional separate ossified part of the I...
متن کاملA note on the morphology of the metopic suture in the human skull.
The metopic suture of 24 adult skulls investigated showed recognisable varied morphological patterns. The metopic suture resembled wavy lines and was sometimes highly convoluted, especially in the superior part of the frontal bone. The mean suture length was computed as 123.1 mm (SD = 5.307) and the mean fractal dimension was 1.17 (SD = 0.076). Visual inspection of the morphological character o...
متن کاملHuman skull with complete metopic suture and multiple sutural bones at lambdoid suture – a case report
Introduction Frontal bone of the skull develops in two halves during the fetal life separated by the metopic suture. The suture normally disappears soon after the birth [1]. The persistent complete metopic suture extending from the nasion to bregma is called metopism [2]. Lambda represent the meeting point of the sagittal and lambdoid suture. It represents the site of posterior median fontanel ...
