Background: Wormian bones (WBs) are irregularly shaped bones formed from independent
ossification centres found along cranial sutures and fontanelles. Their incidence varies …

Background: Wormian bones also known as sutural bones are asymmetrical and shapeless
bones occurring in cranial sutures and fontanelle of the skull. Their incidence is reported to …

Age estimation is one of the major components of forensic identification. Cranial sutures
have long been used as indicators for age estimation, because they vary in their timing of …

Background Flat head syndrome (FHS) sometimes occurs when a baby maintains the same
head position during the first several months of life, causing a skull deformity. FHS usually …

Age estimation is one of the major components of forensic identification. Cranial suture

Wormian bones, otherwise 'Sutural'bones, are accessory bones within or near cranial
sutures. They are mostly found on lambdoid sutures and can be one or more in each suture …

Objectives: To study and compare the patterns of lambdoid suture closure bilaterally; to
specify any relationship between progression of the union of lambdoid suture and age; to …

Purpose Premature fusion or craniosynostosis of suture (s) of the calvaria is known to result
in skull deformation. However, absence of sutures may be interpreted as premature closure …

Results: The lambdoid sutures were observed to be the most patent and least obliterated.
Grade 1 sutures were observed to be 44.71% in lambdoid, 8.4% in sagittal, and 7.3% in …

Background: Accurate age estimation is essential in forensic anthropology, bioarcheology,
andmedico legal investigations. Recent advancements in CT imaging have enabled …
