    Summary

    This study examines skeletal changes caused by aortic aneurysms, focusing on syphilitic infections. Documented cases aid in diagnosing aneurysms in skeletal remains for anthropologists.

    Area of Science:

    • Paleopathology
    • Forensic Anthropology
    • Skeletal Biology

    Background:

    • Aortic aneurysms, including arteriosclerotic, syphilitic, and dissecting types, can manifest with distinct skeletal alterations.
    • Understanding these associations is crucial for diagnosing conditions in skeletal remains.
    • The Hamann-Todd osteological collection offers valuable data for such studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the skeletal changes associated with different types of aortic aneurysms.
    • To analyze the favored location, age, and sex predilection for each aneurysm type.
    • To present documented cases and their skeletal manifestations for diagnostic reference.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on aortic aneurysms and associated skeletal changes.
    • Analysis of four documented cases from the Hamann-Todd osteological collection.
    • Detailed description of skeletal alterations in presented cases.

    Main Results:

    • Four cases of aortic aneurysms were identified in the Hamann-Todd collection.
    • All presented cases were attributed to syphilitic infection.
    • Specific skeletal changes associated with these syphilitic aortic aneurysms were documented.

    Conclusions:

    • Syphilitic aortic aneurysms produce recognizable skeletal changes.
    • These findings enhance the ability of forensic and physical anthropologists to diagnose aortic aneurysms in diverse skeletal remains.
    • The study provides a diagnostic tool for modern, historic, and prehistoric human skeletal samples.
