Çalışmamızda bu varyasyonla ilgili morfometrik ve insidans verileri elde etmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Dokuz Eylül ve Süleyman Demirel Üniversiteleri Tıp Fakültesi Anatomi Anabilim Dalı&#039;na ait toplam 50 adet kurukafada sutura sagittalis, coronalis, lamdoidea, squamosa ve occipitomastoidea morfolojisi, varyasyonları ve Wormian kemik varlığı değerlendirildi.Bulgular: En fazla sutura lamdoidea&#039;da (%28) Wormian kemik bulunduğu, %8 oranında os incae olduğu ve bazı çalışmalarda hiç görülmemiş olan sutura coronalis&#039;te %2 oranında Wormian kemik bulunduğu tespit edildi. Ayrıca 4 vakada (%8) sagittal sinositoz ve yine %8 oranında sutura frontalis persistans (sutura metopica) not edildi.Sonuç: Kafa kemiklerine ait varyasyonların iyi bilinmesinin antropologlar, radyologlar ve beyin cerrahları için öneminden dolayı sunduğumuz verilerin bu yönde yapılacak çalışmalar ve cerrahi işlemlerde katkı sağlayacağını düşünüyoruz.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Incidence and Morphometry of Sutural BonesAim: There are a few studies about sutural bones (Wormian) in Turkish population in the literature. Weaimed to collect data about morphometry and incidence of this variation. Methods: Wormian bone, morphometyand variation of sagittal, coronal, lambdoid, squamous, occipitomastoid sutures were investigated in 50skulls which belong to Dokuz Eylül and Süleyman Demirel Universities Faculty of Medicine AnatomyDepartments. Results: It has been detected that lambdoid suture contains the maximum amount of wormianbone (28%) and 8% os incae, and that coronal suture contains 2% wormian bone, which has not been detectedin some studies. Besides, in 4 cases 8% sagittal synostosis and again 8% persistent frontal suture (metopicsuture) have been noted. Conclusion: It is important that knowledge of variation of cranium for anthropologists,radiologists and neurosurgeons, therefore we hope the data presented would benefit for the future studiesand surgical procedures of the cranium</p></trans-abstract>
