Os Inca Totum-Anthropological and Embryological Basis
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2014, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Complete division of membranous and cartilaginous part of occipital bone by a transverse suture extending between the two lambdoid sutures at the level of highest nuchal line above the external occipital protuberance, results in a rare cranial variation presenting as Os Inca totum. During oesteological study of human skull in the central India region, one male skull showing complete undivided Inca bone was found. The interparital bone is formed by the part of the squamous occipital bone that is bounded by two lambdoid sutures on two sides and inferiorly by transverse suture. Such finding is rare in occurrence and have a significant anthropological and embryological basis.
