An original case of incomplete (and reasonably fatal) human trepanation is described in this short paper. The diagnosis was made on the cremated remains of a young adult individual who died in Rome, Italy during the 2nd century AD.
The trepanation was incomplete, as death occurred quickly due to vascular lesions, according to the anatomic analysis of the bone piece. Comparable trepanation from Roman times are described and related to this case.
Even if archaeological, this case highlights the possibility of such a diagnosis on post-fire fragmented bones. Very suggestive lesions of section are of great interest for the history of such a practice during classical Antiquity. Lastly, from a medical and forensic point of view, such a diagnosis may be of interest during any identification process and research for a cause of death during anthropological analyses.
本文简短描述了一例人类环锯术未完成（且可能致命）的原始病例。诊断是基于一名死于公元2世纪意大利罗马的年轻成年人的火化遗骸做出的。
根据骨片的解剖分析，环锯术未完成，因为死亡是由血管损伤迅速导致的。文中描述了罗马时期类似的环锯术病例并与本病例相关联。
即便这是考古学案例，但此病例凸显了在火灾后破碎骨骼上做出此类诊断的可能性。极具暗示性的切面损伤对于古典时代这种医疗行为的历史研究极具价值。最后，从医学和法医角度来看，在任何身份鉴定过程以及人类学分析中探寻死因时，这样的诊断可能会有帮助。
