ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduction: <\/strong>Epipteric bones are small irregular ossicles that occur near the former\u00a0 antero lateral fontanelle of\u00a0 the\u00a0 cranium having no regular relations to their normal ossific centres.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods: <\/strong>\u00a0The present study was conducted on \u00a0120 dry adult human skulls collected from both the Anatomy and Forensic Department also from the students of Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences, Teaching Hospital and Research Centre.\u00a0 They were examined meticulously for the presence of Epipteric bones and photographs were taken.<\/p>\n

Results: <\/strong>In the present study the unilateral occurrence of\u00a0 epipteric bones\u00a0 was seen in 6 (5%) skulls\u00a0 out of 120 skulls.\u00a0 4 (3.33%) skulls showed in left pterion\u00a0 and\u00a0 2 (1.67%)skulls showed in right pterion. Only in one\u00a0 case 2 sutural bones\u00a0 were present at the\u00a0 right pterion. \u00a0Remaining skulls\u00a0 showed single relatively larger epipteric bones.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/strong>The anatomical knowledge of the\u00a0 epipteric bones is essential for anthropologists,\u00a0 radiologists reporting skiagrams of skulls in\u00a0 head\u00a0 injuries, \u00a0neurosurgeons\u00a0 while performing burr holes during excision of intra cranial tumours \u00a0and neuroanatomists.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong>\u00a0 pterion, epipteric bones.<\/p>\n
