The authors report the morphological and neuroimaging findings of an immature human fossil (Cranium 14) diagnosed with left lambdoid synostosis.
The skull was recovered at the Sima de los Huesos site in Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain). Since the human fossil remains from this site have been dated to a minimum age of 530,000 years, this skull represents the earliest evidence of craniosynostosis occurring in a hominid. A brief historical review of craniosynostosis and cranial deformation is provided.
作者报告了一例被诊断为左侧人字缝早闭的未成熟人类化石(颅骨14)的形态学和神经影像学发现。
该颅骨在阿塔普埃尔卡(西班牙布尔戈斯)的西玛德洛斯休索斯遗址出土。由于该遗址的人类化石遗迹测定的最小年龄为53万年,这块颅骨代表了在原始人类中发生颅缝早闭的最早证据。本文提供了颅缝早闭和颅骨变形的简要历史回顾。
