The no. 5, the subject of this study is one of the dozen skeletons that could be individualized.

Scientific notes

Three lesions affecting the skull and right shoulder. The skull shows a left frontal injury, depressing fracture in the the frontal bone, it deforms the superciliary arch, which has moved slightly. Several cracks around the injured area, just above the supraorbital notch, a small triangular irregular hole on the left shows exostosis. The hole penetrates the left frontal sinus. Inside the orbit, medial wall, shows a roughly circular hole, about 7-8 mm, penetrating the left choana. Pterica the region broke postmortem. On the inside of the roof of the orbit, there is a small perforation fistula from the left frontal sinus, which penetrates the frontal fossa, show an erosion area exostoses associated with a reaction on the roof orbit.

Antemortem

  • Front fracture, which penetrates the sinus frontalis and establishes a communication through endocranium. Probably a small subdural abscess and sinus was infected. The bone reaction and the scars are evident. It is possible to be affected or lost his left eye, but it seems clear that there was a long survival.

  • Slightly oblique projection, Pterica region of the parietal bone, malar and maxillary part of the left side lost postmortem. Perforation left supraorbital glabella. In the orbit can also be seen a circular perforation communicating with the left choana. The left maxillary sinus shows no pathological changes inside.

  • Computed Tomography (CT 1972), parasagittal plane, show exostosis superciliar and the hole penetrates the frontal sinus. In the back of the roof of the orbit is seen a slight osteolysis associated with a minor reaction exostoses.

  • Lateral crania X-ray shows the hole that communicates with the frontal sinus and the exocrania. Despite the deterioration in the pterica region and loss of temporal bone, skull base is not altered.

  • CT horizontal plane passing through the base of the crista galli apophysis, which allows to see the exostosis supraorbital scar and the two holes: the exocranial connecting with the frontal sinus and connecting with the endocranium. In the inner corner of her left sinus and the outer right sinus, show remains of earth that could not take off given the fragility of the skull.

  • CT horizontal plane passing through the apophysis base of the crista galli. Show the hole of the right optic nerve, anterior part of the roof of the sella and posterior clinoid processes. This secction can apréciate the two holes with pathological conditions, the large size, and the exostosis.
