Following an exhaustive literature review of 126 cases, a personal series of 8 instances is presented. The following inferences are drawn: 1) the condition is not an anatomical variant, but a pathological lesion. 2) the lesion occurs in all races, and at all latitudes; its prevalence can be estimated to range between 0.4 and 0.5%. 3) the lesion occurs predominantly in females (sex ratio male: female = 1 : 2.5) and after the age of 60. 4) histological evidence indicated erosion of the external table, compensated by remodeling of the diploe, with resultant loss of the diploe. 5) Neither senility nor senescence, nor chronic trauma, nor muscular traction, nor inflammation, can explain the lesion, its symmetry, its site or its age/sex predilection.
在对126个病例进行详尽的文献综述之后，本文展示了个人收集的8个病例系列。得出以下推论：1）该病症并非解剖学变异，而是一种病理性病变。2）该病变在所有种族、所有纬度地区均有发生；其患病率估计在0.4%至0.5%之间。3）该病变主要发生在女性身上（男女比例为1:2.5），且发病年龄在60岁之后。4）组织学证据表明外板受到侵蚀，板障通过重塑进行代偿，导致板障丧失。5）衰老、老年化、慢性创伤、肌肉牵拉或炎症，均无法解释该病变、其对称性、发病部位或年龄/性别偏好。
