An adult male skeleton was submitted to the Department of Anatomy at the University of Belgrade for evaluation. It was believed to represent the remains of a second to third century Christian saint from the Lesje Monastery in central Serbia. Examination of the remains revealed an old crush fracture of a thoracic vertebra and an unusual, probably congenital, malformation of the atlanto-occipital joint with deformation of the left occipital condyle and resultant narrowing of the foramen magnum. Although the occipital malformations were most likely congenital, they may still have caused, or contributed to, death by compression of the underlying upper cervical spinal cord.
一具成年男性骨骼被送到贝尔格莱德大学解剖学系进行评估。据信它代表了来自塞尔维亚中部莱舍修道院的一位2至3世纪基督教圣徒的遗骸。对遗骸的检查发现了一枚胸椎的陈旧性压缩性骨折，以及寰枕关节一处异常（可能是先天性的）畸形，伴有左枕髁变形以及由此导致的枕骨大孔狭窄。尽管枕部畸形很可能是先天性的，但它们仍可能通过压迫其下方的上颈段脊髓而导致死亡或促使死亡发生。
