Study of Incidence of Metopism in Adult South Indian Skulls

Dr. C. Sheshgiri, Dr. Shishirkumar


Abstract: The metopism is described as persistence of suture from the nasion to the bregma. It can be complete or partial. At birth the frontal bone has a metopic suture which closes approximately by 18-24 months. Cases have been reported where the metopic suture remains patent to the seventh year.367 skulls were observed. In some cases it may persist as a complete suture extending from the nasion to the bregma. Presence of metopism may mimic or can be misdiagnosed as a traumatic fracture.
