Study of pterion and asterion in adult human skulls of north Gujarat region
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction The floor of the temporal fossa is bounded superiorly by the frontal and parietal bones and inferiorly by the greater wing of the sphenoid and squamous part of the temporal bone All four bones of one side meet at a around Hshaped sutural junction known as Pterion Asterion found at the junction of the lambdoid occipitomastoid and parietomastoid suturesMaterials and Methods 110 dry human adult aged skull of unknown sex without any gross pathology or abnormality were studied Sutural pattern of the pterion was observed on both sides of each skull The sutural pattern of pterion was classified as per Murphys criteria into 4 types sphenoparietal frontotemporal epipteric or stellate On both sides of each skull the sutural pattern of the asterion was classified into type I and type IIResult Sphenoparietal was the most common type of pterion observed 809 of total pterion Epipteric was the least common type of pterion observed 818 of total pterion Frontotemporal was not observed in any skull Sphenoparital stellate and epipteric type of pterion shows bilateral symmetry Most common type of asterion observed to be type II found in 9118 of total asterion Bilateral symmetry only found in type II asterionConclusion Observations of our study may be applicable with other commonly used method like radiological analysis for better prediction of different type of sutural morphology Knowledge of sutural morphology may helpful for better surgical safety and efficacy Keywords Pterion Asterion Skull Suture
