GIANT BREGMATIC WORMIAN BONES REPLACING THE ANTERIOR FONTANELLE IN TWO CHILDREN

Abstract

Wormian bones are accessory bones within sutures or fontanelles. Replacement of the anteriorfontanele with a bregmatic wormian bone, so-called as fontanellar bone, is an uncommonfindings. They may be solely presented with absence of the anterior fontanelle or associatedwith craniosynostosis and also form part of various syndromes, skeletal dysplasias. We hereinreport two uncommon cases of giant bregmatic wormian bones replacing the anterior fontanellein two children. Computerized tomografi (CT) is the best choice to detect both the wormianbones and possible associated craniosynostosis or central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities.Adding 3D reconstruction to routine CT imaging facilitates detection of wormian bones
