Abstract
The proper growth of the skull depends on the cranial sutures. There have been references in the literature to the occurrence of bipartite, tripartite and quadripartite parietal bones. Regular ante mortem and postmortem investigations may reveal these fracture-mimicking anatomical variations, which might change the path of the diagnosis and medico legal certification. Therefore, having sufficient knowledge about the occurrence of these abnormal suture variations will improve both postmortem and ante mortem diagnosis. In this case study, the genesis and clinical relevance of a unilateral bipartite parietal bone discovered in a museum specimen are discussed.
