Sharmadha K L, Dr. Umesh S N

Abstract :

Lambda is an anatomical point where sagittal suture intersects with the lambdoid suture. It is the meeting point of occipital and parietal bones. Sutural bones of the cranial vault are formations associated with insufficient rate of suture closure, and regarded asepigenetic and hypostatic traits. These bones rest along sutures and / or fill fontanelles of the neonatal skull. Sutural bones at pterion are more common but at lambda it is unusual. There are very few study worked on lambdoid sutural bone. The present study aim is to find out the incidence of lambdoid sutural bones.
