Anatomical Variations Of Inca Bone In Adult Human Egyptian Skulls

Background: The Inca bone is integral part of the occipital bone of the skull in its interparietal region andappears during radiological examination of the skull.Aim of the work: This study aimed to estimate the incidence rates and variations of interparietal (Inca) andpreinterparietal bones in adult human Egyptian skulls .Materials and methods: In the present study 60 dry human Egyptian skulls (37 males and 23 females) wereexamined to determine the incidence rates of Inca and preinterparietal bones with detailed measurements forInca bone in mm using electronic digital caliber.Results: The incidence rates of Inca and preinterparietal bones were higher in male skulls than female skulls andthe interparietal or Inca bone was observed in only 4 skulls ( 6.66% ) while the preinterparietal bone wasobserved only in 2 skulls ( 3.33 %) .Conclusion: The presence of the Inca and preinterparietal bones was rare in the human Egyptian skulls andtheir incidence rates were higher in male skulls .

Compaison of clinical effects of different surgical methods in patients with supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

Objective: To explore the safeties and efficacies of temporal cortex approach, transsulcus or fissure microsurgery and drilling drainage in the treatment of the patients with supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (SHICH), and to provide the references for choosing the operation methods for the SHICH patients. Methods: Th e clinical materials of 118 patients with SHICH were collected and were divided into temporal cortex approach group (cortex group, n=39), transsulcus or fissure microsurgery group (fissure group, n=31) and drilling drainage group (drilling group, n=48) according to their different operation methods. The age, hematoma volumes, Glasgow Coma Scale Score (GCS), time from onset to operation, hematoma clearance rates, improvement rates 24 h after operation, rebleeding rates after operation, intracranial infection rates, survival rates, and good prognosis rates of the patients in three groups were recorded. Results: The hematoma clearance rate, improvement rate, survival rate and good prognosis rate of the patients in fissure group were significantly higher than those in cortex group (P0. 05). There were no statistically significant differences in the prognosis indexes (hematoma, GCS, survival rate, and good prognosis rate) of the patients between 30-49 mL and 50-69 mL subgroups in fissure group and drilling group. The age of patients in 50-69 mL subgroup in drilling group was significantly higher than that in fissure group (P< 0. 05). Conclusion: The efficacies and prognosis of SHICH patients treated by transsulcus or fissure microsurgery and drilling drainage are better than those by temporal cortex approach. Drilling drainage is more suitable to the old patients with above moderate hematoma; and transsulcus or fissure microsurgery is more suitable to the patients with massive hematoma.

Morphometric study of interparietal bone in Gujarat region.

Background: The occipital bone develops partly in cartilage and partly in membrane. The squamous part of occipital bone between two parietal bones occasionally presents a separate bones which are termed as inca, pre-interparietal bone or interparietal bone. Aims & Objective: (1) To determine the incidence of interparietal bone in skulls of Gujarat region. (2) To study different anomalies of interparietal bone and compare it with other studies. Material and Methods: Total 289 dried macerated skulls from Gujarat region were studied for incidence and type of interparietal bone anomaly. Results: Out of total 289 skulls interparietal bone was found in 23 bones giving incidence of 7.96%. Eight different varieties of interparietal bone anomalies were found and noted. Conclusion: Different anomalies of interparietal bone can be easily interpreted using the knowledge of ossification of interparietal part of occipital bone. Pre-interparietal bone is a misnomer and should not be reported separately.

A Study of Interparietal Bone in 105 Human Skulls of Gujarat Population.

Introduction : The squamous portion of the occipital bone consists of two different parts: the upper interparietal and the lower supraoccipital. The interparietal part may remain separated from the supraoccipital by a suture; it is then called the interparietal or Inca bone. Aim : In this study, incidence of interparietal bone has been estimated and compared with the other observations. Methodology : Total 105 cadaveric dry human skulls were examined to determine incidence of interparietal bone. Observations : The skulls which were observed, displayed many variations in the occipital region. In 7 cases, single or multiple separated bones were observed. In 4 cases (3.81%), the lower edge of these additional bones was situated above the external occipital protuberance and such bones could be classified as interparietal bones. In 3 cases (2.86%), the lower edge of these additional bones was much higher (between the lambda region and the highest nuchal line). The later can be classified as preinterparietal. Importance : Knowledge of interparietal bone is important for the radiologists, neurosurgeons, anthropologists, orthopedics and forensic experts to avoid misdiagnosis.

Interparietal bone variations in accordance with their ossification centres in human skulls / Variaciones de los huesos interparietales de acuerdo con sus centros de osificación en cráneos humanos

The upper interparietal segment of the squamous part of the occipital bone develops in membrane and the lower supraoccipital part develops in cartilage. According to the available literature, the interparietal segment is ossified from 2 to 3 pairs of ossification centres and each of these centres has 2 nuclei. Interparietal bone is formed due to failure of fusion of these centres and/or their nuclei with each other. Many variations of interparietal bone have been reported by many investigators. In the present study, out of 25 human skulls studied, six skulls had some interesting variations of interparietal bones. Four interparietal bones were found in one skull, 2 interparietal bones were observed in another skull and the remaining four skulls had a single interparietal (Os inca) bone at the lambda. In addition to interparietal bones, some sutural bones were also observed in three skulls. These variations were in accordance with the ossification centres of the membranous part of the occipital bone. By their location and shape it was concluded that they were formed due to failure of fusion of nuclei of the third pair centres of ossification with each other, with opposite fellow and with the second pair centers. It was further concluded that these cases of interparietal bones were different from what had been reported earlier by other researchers and this prompted the present report that may be found useful for anatomists, anthropologists, radiologists and neurosurgeons.

El segmento interparietal superior de la porción escamosa del hueso occipital es de origen membranoso y la parte inferior supraoccipital se desarrolla en el cartílago. De acuerdo con la literatura disponible, el segmento interparietal se osifica a partir de 2 a3 pares de centros y cada uno de estos centros cuenta con 2 núcleos. El hueso interparietal se forma debido a la falta de fusión de estos centros y / o sus núcleos. Muchas variaciones de hueso interparietal han sido reportados por investigadores. En el presente estudio, de 25 cráneos humanos estudiados, seis cráneos presentaban algunas variaciones interesantes de huesos interparietales. Cuatro huesos interparietales fueron encontrados en un cráneo, dos huesos interparietales en un cráneo y cuatro cráneos presentaban un solo hueso interparietal (Os inca) en el lambda. Además, de los huesos interparietales, en tres cráneos se observaron huesos suturales. Estas variaciones estaban en relación con los centros de osificación de la parte membranosa del hueso occipital. Por su ubicación y forma, se concluyó que los huesos se formaron debido a la falta de fusión entre sí de los núcleos de los centros del tercer par de osificación, con otros opuestos y con los centros del segundo par. Se concluye, además, que estos casos de huesos interparietales eran diferentes de lo que se había informado anteriormente por otros investigadores y esto nos impulsó al estudio, el cual puede ser útil para anatomistas, antropólogos, radiólogos y neurocirujanos.

Estudo anatômico dos ossos do crânio no homem / Anatomic study of skull bones in man

Introdução: o crânio apresenta, às vezes, ossos supranumerários chamados ossos suturais ou wormianos. Normalmente irregulares em forma, tamanho e espessura. São encontrados no trajeto das suturas lambdóide e sagital, podendo as vezes também, apresentar-se nos lados do crânio, na base do crânio, na sutura entre o osso esfenóide e etmóide, raramente nas suturas da face. Objetivo: o propósito deste estudo foi analisar a forma e localização de ossos suturais em crânios humanos. Método: Foram analisados 35 crânios humanos, de uma amostra por conveniência, pertencente ao material preparado para estudos práticos no Laboratório de Anatomia Humana da USC, sendo feitos para cada caso, fotografias e desenhos esquemáticos para ilustração deste trabalho. Resultados: dos 35 crânios estudados, 14 (40 por cento) apresentavam ossos suturais. Dois casos (6 por cento) foram observados ossos interparietais e um caso (3 por cento) o osso interparietal apresentou-se bipartido. Em 12 (34 por cento) casos apresentavam ossos suturais laterais e medianos na região da sutura lambdóide. Observou-se um caso em que o osso occipital apresentou um forame anômalo e pequenos ossos suturais na sutura lambdóide. Conclusão: conhecimento desta variação é relevante para a anatomia humana, antropologia física, medicina forense, neuroanatomia, neurocirurgia,ortopedia, pediatria e radiologia.

IIntroduction: the skull presents, sometimes, extranumerary bones, called suture bones or wormians. Typically irregular in shape, size and thickness. They are found in the path of the lambdoid and sagittal sutures, and may, sometimes, also be present on the sides of the skull, on the skull base, on the suture between the ethmoid and sphenoid bone, rarely on the sutures of the face. Objective: the purpose of this study was to analyze the shape and location of sutural bones in human skulls. Methods: it was analyzed a group of 35 human skulls, of a convenience sample, from a prepared material used for practical studies at the Laboratory of Human Anatomy, USC, being made, for each case, photographs and schematic drawings to illustrate this paper. Results: from the 35 skulls studied, 14 (40 per cent) presented suture bones. Two cases (6 per cent) were observed interparietal bones and in one case (3 per cent), the interparietal bone presented bipartite. In 12 (34 per cent) cases had lateral and median sutural bones in the region of the lambdoid suture. It was observed a case in which the occipital bone presented an anomalous foramen and small sutural bones on the lambdoid suture. Conclusion: the knowledge of this variation is relevant for human anatomy, physical anthropology, forensic medicine, neuroanatomy, neurosurgery, orthopedics, pediatrics and radiology.

Study of interparietal bone.

It is not unusual to find small separate ossicles of bones between two lambdoid sutures and nuchal lines. Their size, shape, numbers and position are variable. These are interparietal bones. While routine examinations of bones, the authors have found an adult male skull having interparietal bone. The bone was examined thoroughly and conclusions drawn.

Analysis of bone variations of the occipital bone in man / Análisis de las variaciones del hueso occipital en el hombre

Inadequate ossification of the interparietal region induces the appearance of interparietal and wormian bones, also associated with genetic factors. The formation of the interparietal bone depends on the separation of the intermediate segment from the lateral plate by the transverse occipital suture, which means that this bone is formed by the medial and lateral plates. Wormian interparietal bones or epactal bones are located within the interparietal region, being single or multiple, and are located in the upper central region of the interparietal region, the sutural bones, however, are formed from additional ossification centers that can occur in near sutures. The aim of this work was to macroscopically evaluated the presence of changes in the structure of the adult human occipital bone in cadavers found in the human anatomy laboratory of the Goißs Federal University in order to determine the frequency of supernumerary bones associated with occipital and parietal bones and relate it to literature, as well as to provide images and data for ethnic studies in the Brazilian population and data that could help medical practices such as fetal position and radiographs. Our data have indicated that the frequency of the interparietal bone of 1.92 percent is among those seen in countries such as Japan, Bulgaria, Nigeria, India and Turkey, but lower than values found in pre-Hispanics Chileans; however, for the sutural bones, the frequency of this study was higher than other data obtained from Spanish and other Brazilians.

La osificación inadecuada de la región interparietal induce a la aparición de los huesos interparietal y wormiano, asociado también con factores genéticos. La formación del hueso interparietal depende de la separación del segmento intermedio desde la placa lateral por la sutura occipital transversal, lo que significa que este hueso se forma por las placas medial y lateral. Los huesos interparietales wormianos o hueso epactal se encuentram dentro de la región interparietal, siendo únicos o múltiples, y se localizan en la región central superior de la zona interparietal. Los huesos suturales, sin embargo, se forman de centros de osificación adicionales que pueden aparece cerca de estas suturas. El objetivo de este trabajo, fue evaluar macroscópicamente la presencia de variaciones en la estructura del hueso occipital en cadáveres humanos, adultos encontrados en el Laboratorio de Anatomía Humana de la Universidad Federal de Goiás, con la finalidad de determinar la frecuencia de los huesos supernumerarios asociados con los huesos parietal y occipital. Además, comparamos estos datos con los descritos enla literatura y, aportamos imágenes y datos para estudios étnicos en la población Brasileña. Estos datos pueden ayudar en las prácticas médicas como la posición fetal y radiografías. Nuestros datos indicaron que la frecuencia del hueso interparietal fue de 1,92 por ciento y se encuentra en países como Japón, Bulgaria, Nigeria, India y Turquía, pero inferior a los valores encontrados en chilenos prehispánicos. Sin embargo, para los huesos suturales, la frecuencia de este estudio fue superior a otros datos obtenidos de españoles y otros estudios realizados en individuos brasileños.

Frecuencia del hueso interparietal o incaico en cráneos atácamenos (Lican antai) prehispánicos del norte de Chile / Frequency of interparietal bone or inca bone in pre-hispanic Atacamenos (Lican Antai) skulls of the north of Chile

El hueso interparietal se considera un hueso intercalar originado de centros independientes de osificación y rodeado por sus propias suturas. Se encontró en fósiles homínidos y humanos tempranos. Se cree que el occipucio sufre transformaciones por mutaciones al iniciarse la evolución humana reforzando esta teoría las variaciones suturales que presenta el occipital. Sería un rasgo genéticamente dominante, propuesta ratificada por estudios experimentales. Se observa con variadas formas según la fusión de los núcleos de osificación, por lo que todos los huesos ubicados en la zona de la escama del occipital no se pueden clasificar como suturales o wormianos y deben considerarse como parte del hueso interparietal. Tratando de confirmar la alta frecuencia obtenida en investigaciones anteriores realizadas en cráneos de individuos originarios del norte de Chile, se analizaron 83 cráneos de atacamenos prehispánicos de ambos sexos, seleccionados al azar entre 293 individuos exhumados del cementerio Coyo-Oriente, datados entre 300-1200 D.C período post-Tiwanaku y que forman parte del Museo R.P. Gustavo Le Paige en San Pedro de Atacama, dependiente del Instituto de Investigaciones Arqueológicas de la Universidad Católica del Norte, que fueron fotografiados en todas sus normas anatómicas y que se midieron paras obtener el índice craneal o cefálico. El hueso interparietal está presente en 23 de 83 cráneos, con una frecuencia de 27,71 por ciento, sin diferencias estadísticas significativas al 95 por ciento con investigaciones realizadas en cráneos de origen étnico similar y en otras etnias que presentan alta frecuencia de hueso interparietal. Por el contrario, se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas al 95 por ciento con frecuencias determinadas en cráneos europeos caucásicos y euroasiáticos. Los autores integraron las tablas clasificatorias de Kadanoff y Hanihara-Ishida, para obtener una tabla modificada que permitiera clasificar ...

The interparietal bone is considered an intercalary bone originated by independent ossification centers and surrounded by its own sutures. It is found in early hominids and human fossils. It is believed that the occipital bone undergoes transformations by mutations at the beginning of human evolution. Reinforcing this theory are the suture variations that presents the occipital bone. It would be a dominant genetic characteristic, proposal ratified by experimental studies. It is observed with varied forms according to the fusion of the ossification nuclei; reason why all the bones located in the zone of the occipital flake cannot be classified as sutures or wormians and must be considered part of the interparietal bone. Trying to confirm the high frequency obtained in previous investigations realized in skulls of original individuals of the north of Chile, we analyzed 83 skulls of pre-Hispanic atácamenos (lican antai) of both sexes, selected at random between 293 individuals of the Coyo-Orient cementery, dated between 300-1200 A.C, post-Tiwanaku period and these remains are part of R.P Gustavo Le Paige's Museum in San Pedro de Atacama, which is part of the Institute of Archaeological Investigations of the North Catholic University. The remains were photographed in all anatomical norms and that were measured to obtain the cranial or cephalic Index. The interparietal bone is present in 23 of 83 skulls, with a frequency of 27.71 percent, without significant statistical differences to 95 percent with investigations realized in skulls of similar ethnic origin and other ethnic groups who present high frequency of interparietal bone. On the contrary, statistically significant differences to 95 percent were found with frequencies determined in caucasian and euroasiatics european skulls. The authors integrated the classificatory tables of Kadanoff and Hanihara-Ishida, to obtain a modified table that allowed to classify all the found variations ...
