Abstract Here we report on a skull of an adult male Noctilio leporinus caught in the Guiana Shield, South America. The animal was lacking the upper left molar-row and exhibited skeletal deformations in the rostral and palatal regions. This aberration could have been the result of a traumatic avulsion of the left C1. As a consequence of its position and depth of the root, the C1 avulsion could have broken much of the surrounding alveolar process during the initial injury, with subsequent loss of the remaining teeth via periodontal inflammation and tooth decay.

Skull Trauma

To compare the treatment of skull trauma in Egyptian and Hippocratic medicine, the author reviews the pertinent passages of the Smith Papyrus and of the Hippocratic Corpus. By examining the treatment of similar cases reported in the two documents, it is concluded that the Egyptian physician, with his more conservative approach, pursued a more effective and less dangerous course of action than the Hippocratic physician, who would aggressively intervene with trephination and scraping of the bone.

Abstract Background: The internal acoustic meatus (IAM) is a bony canal present between labyrinth and posterior cranial fossa. The normal morphometry of IAM is useful during evaluation of cases of skull trauma, congenital anomalies of IAM affecting the individual nerves, and in pre evaluation of surgeries of ear. The present study was done to determine the normal dimensions of IAM and to have a morphological database of the IAM for South Indian population. Materials & methods: The present study was conducted on 37 temporal bones of adult skulls. The impression of IAM was taken by injecting polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impression material into the IAM and the dimensions were measured by using digital vernier callipers on right and left side separately. The height and width of IAM at porous, middle and fundus were measured and tabulated. Results: As there was no significant statistical difference between the parameters of right and left sides the data were pooled together. The mean height & width of IAM at porous end was 4.5mm & 6.42mm respectively. The mean height & width of IAC at its middle portion was 4.04mm & 4.91mm respectively. The mean height & width of IAM at the fundus was 3.8mm and 4.60mm respectively. The superior length & inferior length was 8.60 & 8.70mm respectively. Conclusion:This study provides a ready reference for dimensions of IAM of adult dry skull in South Indian population. The present study confirms that there is difference in the dimensions of IAM among different races and regions and thus emphasizes the need to have normal data for our population.

This paper presents two cases of healed skull trauma recovered from medieval mass burial sites in Kutná Hora-Sedlec (Kutná Hora District/CZ). These recently unearthed burial pits are historically and contextually associated with two key catastrophes: (1) a famine in the early 14th century; and (2) the Black Death in the mid-14th century. The first skull presents evidence of survival from severe cranial injury with highly probable surgical intervention. The second one presents evidence of successful skull surgery, confirming the practice of trepanation performed by a skilled specialist in a given region at a given time in history. Although both individuals had been robust enough to withstand the pain and strain of the treatment, indicating considerable resilience to survive the skull trauma, they succumbed to mass infection or famine that killed a large number of inhabitants of this prominent medieval mining region.
