A Cross-Disciplinary Study of Facial Asymmetry in a Pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican Sculpture: Some Cultural and Rheumatological Insights.
J Clin Rheumatol
December 2024
General Directorate, Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación Luis Guillermo Ibarra Ibarra, Mexico City, Mexico.
Background/historical Perspective: Facial asymmetry has been recognized and represented in Mesoamerican and South American pre-Hispanic cultures.
Summary: This study aims to describe and contextualize an ancient pre-Hispanic stone face carving from the Early Postclassic Period (1200-1500 AD) discovered during excavations for the construction of what is now the National Rehabilitation Institute in Mexico City. The remarkable facial asymmetry of the artifact, suggesting facial paralysis, is a focal point for an interdisciplinary study combining bioarchaeology, anthropology, paleopathology, and rheumatology.

Paleobiological implications of chevron pathology in the sauropodomorph Plateosaurus trossingensis from the Upper Triassic of SW Germany.
PLoS One

Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany.
Paleopathology, the study of diseases and injuries from the fossil record, allows for a unique view into the life of prehistoric animals.

Despite the large number of skeletons, pathologies had never been reported in the sauropodomorph Plateosaurus trossingensis.

Department of Human Biology, Division of Clinical Anatomy and Biological Anthropology, University of Cape Town.
This study combines clinical and anthropological analyses to investigate the complex cranial pathology of a South African individual from the 19th century. The cranium was examined macroscopically and radiographically. Conducting a standard differential diagnosis was challenging given the complexity and uncommon nature of the pathology and required drawing on relatively sparse paleopathological and clinical case reports.
