Journal Title: Journal of Contemporary Medicine and Dentistry - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The study aims to analyze for the location and types of pterion in adult skulls of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. Materials & Methods: Study was performed on 350 adult human skulls. The pterion types were classified and linear distances from the center of the pterion to the frontozygomatic suture and the midpoint of the zygomatic arch were measured. Result: Four types of pterion i.e sphenoparietal, frontotemporal, stellate and epipteric, were observed. Sphenoparietal was common pterion type (82.2%) followed by frontotemporal (9%), stellate (3.7%), and epipteric types (5%). The mean distances from the pterion to frontozygomatic suture were 2.72±0.6 mm and 2.70±0.5 mm on right and left side respectively, while the distances to the midpoint of zygomatic arch were 4.01±0.5 mm and 3.92±0.3 mm. Conclusion: The study has shown incidence of various types of Pterion. The sphenoparietal variety is predominant type of Pterion in this region.
