Differential diagnosis for two ‘holes in the head’ of a child from 982 to 904 BP in northern South America
Objective
To present paleopathological evidence of a congenital anomaly with photographic support and a review that will help scholars to diagnose the condition.
Materials
Well-preserved skeletal remains of a child from central Colombia, dated 968–1046 CE.
Methods
Macroscopic examination and computerized axial tomography.
Results
Two holes were observed in the skull.
Conclusions
The pathology is consistent with a neural tube defect or an inclusion cyst.
Significance
Neural tube defects and inclusion cysts, in paleopathology, are rarely reported in children. The preservation and origin of the individual make this case valuable. The photographic support and the review is useful for other scholars in the field.
Limitations
It was not possible to determine a single cause.
Suggestions for future research
Review cases in identified osteological collections.
期刊介绍:
Paleopathology is the study and application of methods and techniques for investigating diseases and related conditions from skeletal and soft tissue remains. The International Journal of Paleopathology (IJPP) will publish original and significant articles on human and animal (including hominids) disease, based upon the study of physical remains, including osseous, dental, and preserved soft tissues at a range of methodological levels, from direct observation to molecular, chemical, histological and radiographic analysis. Discussion of ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health, disease and life histories in the past is central to the discipline, so the journal would also encourage papers covering interpretive and theoretical issues, and those that place the study of disease at the centre of a bioarchaeological or biocultural approach. Papers dealing with historical evidence relating to disease in the past (rather than history of medicine) will also be published. The journal will also accept significant studies that applied previously developed techniques to new materials, setting the research in the context of current debates on past human and animal health.
