“…She had severe HFI (type D), which is known to be associated with advanced age (3,16). We believe that the severity of the HFI and the complex picture of neuropsychiatric and metabolic symptoms in our 75-year-old patient are consistent with a high penetrance of MSM syndrome.…”

A case of full penetrance of Morgagni-Stewart-Morel syndrome is reported, presenting many of the clinical features described in the literature. Metabolic and endocrine dysfunctions should be interpreted not only as isolated components of the syndrome, but also as the reason behind its pathogenesis. Endocrine or nutritional disorders may have led to an altered bone metabolism with frontal bone apposition. On the other hand, the severity of our patient's neurological and psychiatric symptoms correlates well with the severity of her hyperostosis frontalis interna and the cortical atrophy.

“…The postmortem prevalence is reportedly around 11.9% (3), and recent studies suggest that the incidence of this condition has increased over the centuries (4). HFI mostly affects women, and the severity of the phenomenon increases with age (5).…”

“…This information is valuable for surgeons. Good knowledge of Anatomical variations is also of great value for radiologists as many times aberrant anatomical features are misinterpreted as pathology (Paraskevas et al, ; Raikos et al, ). Such misdiagnosis has multiple implications for the patients leaving aside the psychological impact.…”

Sound knowledge of anatomy and Anatomical variations plays an integral role in surgical and radiology specialties. This study investigated the current teaching and assessment trends on Anatomical variations in various surgical and radiology specialty training curricula in Canada and Australia. A survey was sent to 122 Program Directors and Chairs of specialty committees in Canada and Directors of Training/Education in Australia of selected surgical and radiology specialties. A total of 80.7% of respondents report that their training curricula include Anatomical variations. The highest rated classes of variations included in the curriculum are arterial (76%), venous (68%), followed by organs (64%). All trainees learn about Anatomical variations from surgeons and radiologists (100%) and via suggested textbooks of the specialty (87.1%). A total of 54.8% report that specialty training curricula do not suggest specific anatomical variation classifications for the trainees to learn, and 16.1% are uncertain if the colleges provide such kind of instruction. Trainees typically communicated findings of variations in case presentations and clinic's meetings. About 32.3% of respondents report that Anatomical variations are not assessed in their training curriculum. About 39.3% of experienced clinicians in the study report they encounter variations on a monthly basis and 25 and 21.4% on a weekly and daily basis, respectively. Surgical and radiology colleges need to investigate for hidden curriculum in their specialty training programs to ensure there are no gaps in knowledge and training related to Anatomical variations. Most educational leaders surveyed believe more teaching on Anatomical variations in the first 4 years of training would benefit resident doctors.

“…It is characterized by excess bone growth and manifests on the inner table of the frontal bone, occasionally extending onto the temporals, parietals and the occipital. It is seldom found in males, but it is a common phenomenon among post-menopausal females in modern societies [1]. The etiology of HFI is uncertain: it may be due to an unknown genetic predisposition, a common environmental exposure, or special metabolic diseases [2].…”

Aim of the work and case presentation: This article is to present the evidence of hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) in a young adult male, approximately (25-26) years old, recovered from a second dynasty site (2890-2650 BC) at Tarkhan in the south of Dahshur-Egypt.HFI is rare in historic populations. It is most commonly found among females with prolonged estrogen stimulation. Males with hormonal disturbances like primary hypogonadism were found to manifest with HFI.Conclusion: This study is a further contribution to the case history of HFI in osteoarcheological studies. Further researches are recommended to have an overview on such an old disease in Egypt.
