“…The Wormian bones have been reported to commonly occur in healthy populations, and their presence typically is not associated with any pathological conditions (Natsis et al 2019;Andrade et al 2018;Johal et al 2017;Walulkar et al 2012); however, their significant number (above 10), size (more than 6 mm x 4 mm), or characteristic mosaic pattern are clinically considered as indicators of several congenital diseases, mostly osteogenesis imperfecta (Cremin et al 1982) exhibited by abnormally numerous Wormian bones (Semler et al 2010). Other diseases are also frequently associated with WB, such as hypophosphatasia, craniosynostosis, hypothyroidism, cleidocranial dysostosis, rickets, pyknodysostosis (osteopetrosis acro-osteolytica), pachydermoperiostosis, congenital hypothyroidism, hydrocephalus, otopalatodigital syndrome, Hajdu-Cheney syndrome, Menkes syndrome (Ratnaningrum 2020;Saylisoy 2020;Basnet et al 2019 Jeanty et al 2000). As Wormian bones are developed prenatally (Jeanty et al 2000), they can be detected during the routine USG examination, and used as the prenatal diagnosis of severe or lethal conditions (Tonni et al 2013).…”

Wormian bones (WB) are the irregular bone structures developed from additional centers of ossification. Although they are commonly found in healthy individuals, under certain conditions (number >10, mosaic pattern, large size), they can indicate pathology. While their coexistence with numerous diseases is well-documented, and various studies have reported their prevalence in populations of various geographic regions, no qualitative critical review of such studies has been conducted. The aim of this paper is to perform a critical review of research studies on the presence of Wormian bones in populations worldwide, with a particular emphasis on the methodology used and the selection of the samples studied. A sample of 44 original research articles was selected via PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Four criteria were assessed: 1) number of individuals in each group, 2) known sex of individuals, 3) selection criteria of individuals, and 4) implementation of the statistical analysis. The origin of the research sample was determined as well as the method of the WB calculation, and data on the WB prevalence worldwide was collected in tabular form. The reported size of the research samples varies from 22 to 628 individuals, derived from both contemporary and archaeological populations. Four major formulas were used in order to provide the frequency of WB. The sex of individuals was known in 18 (40.9%) articles. Most of the articles focused on Asian samples. The difficulties in comparing data on the Wormian bones are caused by considerable inconsistency in the methodology used to research this phenomenon. Therefore, the interpopulation comparisons currently made may not be correctly estimated. Our study highlights the need for using more comprehensive and consistent data collection as well as processing protocol suitable for populational research on sutural bones.

“…During X-Ray examination of the head, Wormian bones can also be mistaken for fractures (Narayan et al 2019;Romero-Reverón 2017). Radiologists and surgeons have been advised to take WB into account while planning surgical interventions to the head to avoid possible injury (Ratnaningrum 2020;Kumar and Ratna Prabha 2016).…”

Sutural bones or Wormian bones (an unusual anatomical variant associated with inadequate closure of suture) are extra intrasutural irregular isolated bones that occur additionally at center of ossification of the skull; along sutures, around sutures or between the cranial sutures formed by bones of the skull vault. This report displays a case of the presence of an unusual sutural bone at the bregma of the skull of a cadaver during maceration; hence revealing and supporting the possibility of variations in ossification centers and skull matrix which could aid neurosurgeons, orthopedics and radiologists in their practices. The human bregmatic sutural bone presented in this report is a rare occurrence. Considering its location in the skull, it is the first kind reported in Nigeria and Africa as well as one of the few cases reported across the Globe.
