THE MORPHOLOGICALANALYSIS OF PTERION IN NORTH INDIAN POPULATION
Journal Title: Era's Journal of Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Pterion is defined as an H-shaped small circular area formed by the junction of four bones: Frontal, Parietal, Temporal and Sphenoid on Norma lateralis of the skull. A 35 dry adult human skulls of unknown sex without any gross pathology or abnormalitywere taken for the study. Sphenoparietal was the commonest type of pterion observed on both the sides. Second most common type of pterion found in our study was stellate type. Stellate type of pterion was present only on right side of skull. The accomplishments of this study contribute to anatomical variations of the pterion, which are of interest to anthropologists, forensic pathologists and surgeons. This topic of study deserves further investigation in other populations from different geographical areas.
