Unspecified infectious Infectious
The right maxillary second and third molars are missing, and the surrounding alveolar bone resorbed, possibly resulting from trauma or infection. The canal and foramen for the descending palatine arteries are significantly enlarged, as is the greater palatine foramen, indicating infection of the maxilla, and the maxillary sinuses appear to be congenitally constricted or absent.

$A depressed fracture to the right temporosphenoid area exhibits a linear fracture radiating inferoposterior from the right squamosal suture and terminating in a semicircle superior to the supraglenoid gutter. The fracture is visible on the endocranial surface, as are compression of the greater wing of the sphenoid and middle cranial fossa. The fracture is healed.$
