Computed Tomographic Evaluation of Cranial Suture Obliteration for Age Estimation in an Indian Population.

Background: Age estimation is a critical aspect of human identification. Age is assessed using cranial suture obliteration, pelvic morphological changes, epiphyseal fusion of long bones, dental maturation, and other standard methods.

Methods: The present study investigated three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) scans of 263 individuals (183 males and 80 females) to assess the extent of ectocranial suture closure.

Forensic implications of pituitary macroadenoma: An autopsy case report.

Pituitary adenomas are the most common tumours of the sellar region. Functional pituitary adenomas are related with immense assorted variety in their endocrine manifestations secondary to hypo or hyperfunction of the pituitary gland and mass impact. They can have a slow but severe impact on vision due to compression of the optic nerves, optic chiasm and cavernous sinus.
