Sutures are a type of fibrous joint that occur only in the skull. However, partial or complete division of bones resulting in anomalous or accessory skull sutures may be misinterpreted as fractures when identified on radiological examination. Thus, it is of paramount clinical and medicolegal importance that these sutures be differentiated from actual fractures which can lead to severe consequences such as false accusation and mis-management of patient. It must be remembered though that the diagnosis in such cases is not straight forward even during postmortem examination which requires careful evaluation of findings with the aid of histology examination and radiology imaging. We present a case of a mis-diagnosis of an anomalous parietal suture in a three-month-old infant.

Evaluation of root and root canal morphology of mandibular and maxillary canine teeth in Turkish subpopulation by cone beam computed tomography with using two classification systems.
BMC Oral Health
December 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Dentistry, Konya, Turkey.
Background: Knowledge of root and canal morphology is a prerequisite for effective nonsurgical and surgical endodontic treatments. The aim of this cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) study was to evaluate the root canal morphology of permanent canines in a Turkish subpopulation using two classification systems.
Methods: A total of 2,000 canine teeth were examined.
Is there a sexual dimorphism in Wormian bones presence? A study on Polish and Lithuanian sample.
Folia Morphol (Warsz)

Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin, Szczecin, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- Wormian bones (WB) are additional bone structures found in cranial sutures, and their presence may indicate developmental instability, particularly in males due to higher susceptibility to environmental disturbances.
- A study analyzed 317 adult skeletons from Polish and Lithuanian series and noted significant differences in WB presence between sexes, with a higher percentage of males exhibiting WB compared to females.
- Results show that the occurrence and number of WB are significantly higher in males, emphasizing the necessity for more research on sexual dimorphism in WB, particularly in populations outside of Asia.
Complications in Occipitocervical Surgery.
Acta Neurochir Suppl

Department of Neurosurgery, Koc University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
The occipitocervical junction is formed by the foramen magnum (FM) and the adjacent anatomical structures of the C1 and C2 vertebrae. The FM is formed anteriorly by the basilar part of occipital bone. Anterolaterally, it borders the occipital condyles and hypoglossal canal as well as the jugular foramen.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating and testing a robotic system designed for precise and minimally invasive jawbone milling, aimed at improving oral and maxillofacial surgery outcomes.
- The robotic system includes a UR5E arm and advanced software that generates tailored cutting paths based on 3D models and surgical needs.
- Results showed that the robotic approach outperformed static guides in terms of accuracy, with better overall precision in milling surgeries, indicating its potential for clinical use.
Investigation of nasal cavity alterations in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 using CBCT.

Departamento de Odontopediatria e Ortodontia, Faculdade de Odontologia, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on analyzing nasal septum deviation (NSD), nasal bone length (NBL), and the shapes of nasal conchae in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) compared to a control group.
- It involved 56 cone-beam computed tomography scans, classifying various nasal structures and assessing the reliability of the results.
- Findings indicated that individuals with NF1 had significantly longer NBL but only moderate differences in NSD compared to controls, suggesting complex factors influencing these nasal variations and emphasizing the need for future research on craniofacial development in NF1.
