Sutural bones are the bony ossicles found at the different sutures of the crania.
The aim of the present study is to find out the incidence and percentage frequency of sutural bones, at the different cranial sutures of the male and female crania.
This study includes 310 crania (155 male and 155 female) and in each skull the presence of sutural bones were noted.
The study revealed that total 494 sutural bones were observed in male and 470 bones in female. The maximum number of sutural bones was noted at the lambdoid suture. These bones are important because they can mislead in the diagnosis of the fracture of skull bones.
