Aim: The locations of the Wormian bones (WBs) are critical knowledge for physicians, anatomists, forensic scientists, and anthropologists. The purpose of the study is to identify the number and location of WBs in the Anatolian population.
Material and Methods: The study included 29 adult skulls from anatomy departments at two universities in Türkiye. The skulls' gender and age were unknown. The prevalence, quantity, and location of WBs were assessed.
Results: The greatest number of WBs (mean 1.79) were found in the lambdoid suture, which was followed by the coronal suture (0.43). Among the fontanelles, the Asterion had the highest number of WBs (0.42).
Conclusion: According to our findings, the Lambdoid suture has the highest number of WBs. There is still a great deal of mystery around the causes of the occurrence and localization of WBs. Radiologists, neurosurgeons, forensic scientists, anatomists, and anthropologists must conduct more research in this area.
