Epigenetic variation in the Nigerian skull: sutural pattern at the pterion.

East African medical journal - 1 Jul 1996

Asala S A, Mbajiorgu F E

Abstract excerpt

The variation of pterion articulation was assessed in 212 north-eastern Nigerian dried skulls. Four sutural variants were recorded. Sphenoparietal articulation was present in 82.1%, frontotemporal articulation in 23.6%, stenocrotaphia in 1.9% and epipteric articulation in 5.7% of the skulls. Symmetry of articulation was predominant in sphenoparietal (86.7%), frontotemporal (58.0%) and stenocrotaphia (100.0%)...
