Abstract

The variation in the frequency of occurrence of sutural bones (wormian bones) was observed in majority of human populations around the world. These bones rest along sutures and/or fill the fontanelles of neonatal skull. The occurance of wormian bones is quite common in Indian population. We found ten wormian bones in adult Indian skull. Knowledge of its presence is very important for anthropologist, radiologists, autopsy surgeon, orthopedic and neurosurgeons.
