AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the development of the squamous segment of the occipital bone, highlighting the differentiation between its cartilaginous and membranous origins and the potential for fusion failures leading to interparietal bones.
- Research conducted on 400 Thai native skulls revealed an interparietal bone incidence rate of 7.25%, with males showing a higher occurrence than females (8.33% vs. 4.84%).
- The findings underscore the importance of recognizing interparietal bones for neurosurgeons and radiologists to prevent misdiagnoses in cases of skull fractures.
Article Abstract
Background: The squamous segment of occipital bone consists of cartilaginous and membranous origin. The cartilaginous part develops to supra-occipital bone. The membranous part has three primary ossification centers on each side. The first pair ossification center lies above the cartilaginous part between the superior nuchal line and the highest nuchal line and fuse with the cartilaginous part to form a supra-occipital segment of occipital bone. The second and third pairs have two nuclei each forming lateral and medial plates. All of these ossification centers fuse to form squamous segments of occipital bone. The fusion failure between ossification centers of second and third pair nuclei with each other or supra-occipital segment causes separated bone(s) called interparietal bone(s) or os incae. The interparietal bone should be differentiated from Wormian (intrasutural) bone. The incidence from various studies ranges from 0.37% to 9.50% of the population.
Objective: To study the incidence and variation of interparietal bone in Northeastern Thailand as compared with other studies.
Material And Method: A total of 400 Thai native skulls (276 male and 124 female) from the collection of Anatomical Museum of the Faculty of Medicine Khon Kaen University aged from 16 to 93 years old were examined by naked eye and photographed. Wormian bone was excluded by shape and site. The statistical method used was percentage of relative frequency.
Results: The incidence of interparietal bone in Northeastern Thailand is 7.25% (29 from 400). Males have a two times higher incidence rate than females, (8.33% versus 4.84%). Eleven patterns of interparietal bone were found. Fusion failure of a third pair ossification center is more common than second pair
Conclusion: Knowledge of interparietal bone is useful for neurosurgeons and radiologists to avoid missed diagnosis of skull fracture. Presented interparietal bone may cause difficulty in surgery of occipital and parietal bone. Forensic scientist can use interparietal bone for personal identification.

Theoretical model of impact mitigation mechanisms inherent to the North American bison skull.

North American bison (Bovidae: Bison bison) incur blunt impacts to the interparietal and frontal bones when they engage in head-to-head fights. To investigate the impact mitigation of these bones, a finite element analysis (FEA) of the skull under loading conditions was performed. Based on anatomical and histological studies, the interparietal and frontal bones are both comprised of a combination of haversian and plexiform bone and are both underlain by bony septa.

Background: European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) are small insectivorous mammals common in Europe. With increased urbanization, the species become more frequent in the cities and near other human dwellings. The anatomy of the species with the use of diagnostic imaging techniques along with the classical anatomical methodology has not been researched before.

Skulls of living whales and dolphins (cetaceans) are telescoped-bones of the skull roof are overlapped by expanded facial bones and/or anteriorly extended occipital bones. Evolution of the underlying skull roof (calvarium), which lies between the telescoped regions, is relatively unstudied. We explore the evolution and development of the calvarium of toothed whales (odontocetes) by integrating fetal data with Oligocene odontocete fossils from North America, including eight neonatal and juvenile skulls of †.

While it is well-established that bone responds dynamically to mechanical loading, the effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) on cranial bone composition are unclear. We hypothesized that repeated mTBI (rmTBI) would change the microstructure of cranial bones, without gross skull fractures. To address this, young adult female Piebald Viral Glaxo rats received sham, 1×, 2× or 3× closed-head mTBIs delivered at 24 h intervals, using a weight-drop device custom-built for reproducible impact.

Background: The mendosal suture joins the interparietal and inferior portions of the occipital bone. Persistent patency of this suture can result in bathrocephaly, an abnormal occipital projection. This study aims to determine normal temporal fusion of the mendosal suture and cranial shape of the patients with persistent suture patency.
