“…The wormian bone were more in male (4.1%) than in (3.6%) in present study, whereas most of the previous study, Berry AC et al (1974) 2 , Chandersekharan P (1985) 4 , are silent about sex variation in wormian bone. Bhagwat SS et al (1984) 3 in their study in Gujarat have also found no sex difference in incidence of wormian bone.…”

“…These bones are separated by sub sagittal suture parallel to the sagittal 1 they usually involve whole thickness or may involve only one table of bone 10 . Wormian bones of the cranial vault are formation associated with insufficient rate of suture closure and regarded as epigenetic or hypostatic trait 9. Multiple wormian bones are the prominent feature of various cranial dystosis 4 .…”

“…While particular characteristics like an osseous mandibular cyst (2) found in an X-ray are employed in the specific method, the scientific method is a data based approach focus sing on the variations in the configurations of the skeletal elements (1). Radiographically recorded bony traits employed for individualising skulls in the latter method include the structural variations in the sphenoid bone (1), the pattern of frontal sinus and the mastoid process (3) and the suture patterns (4,5). It is proposed in this paper, that the contour configuration of wormian bone, an epigenetic marker, whensoever seen in an antemortem radiograph can provide positive proof while identifying a skull.…”

Antemortem radiographic records are known to be more valuable than photographs in individualising skulls since the eventual identification is based on stable bony traits. A non-metric cranial trait exhibiting a great deal of morphogenetic variationlambdridal wormian bone -seen in antemortem radiographic records was looked upon in this paper as an epigenetic marker providing positive forensic identification of the skull. The proposition is supported by an illustrative case. Contrasting the prevailing notion that endocranial sutures are patternless, it was found that the intracranial sutures in preadolescent growth period exhibit patterns. Further, it is indicated that the influence of endocranial sutures in wormian bone contour and other ectocranial sutural patterns seen in a preadolescent skull radiograph has to be noted while comparing such radiographic patterns with suture patterns seen in adult skulls. RESUME Les dossiers radiographiques antemortem sont reconnus pour etre plus utiles que les photographies pour fin d'individualisation des cranes puisque I'identification est basee sur des traits osseux stables. Un trait cranien dernontrant une grande variation morphoqenetlque -I'os wormien lambdo'ide -present dans les dossiers radiographiques antemortem fut examine dans cet artlcle comme un marqueur epigenetique fournissant une identification judiciaire positive du crane. Cette proposition est iIIustree par une cause. Contrairement ala notion prevatente que les sutures endocranlennes sont sans motif, iI a ete demontre que les sutures tntracranlennes pendant la perlode de croissance pre-adolescente demontrent des motifs. De plus, iI est etabf que !'influence des sutures endocraniennes du contour de I'os wormien vues sur la radiographie du crane pre-adolescent doit etre notee lorsque des comparaisons de ces motifs radiographiques sont faites avec les motifs des sutures observees sur le crane d'adulte.
