    Summary

    The os incae, a bone resulting from occipital bone fusion failure, can be mistaken for trauma. This study analyzes its frequency and morphology in children.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Radiology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • The os incae is an anatomical variant arising from incomplete fusion of the occipital bone.
    • Its distinct morphological features can be misdiagnosed as traumatic injuries.
    • Understanding its prevalence is crucial for accurate pediatric radiological assessments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence and morphological characteristics of the os incae in a pediatric population.
    • To differentiate the os incae from traumatic bone abnormalities.
    • To provide data for accurate interpretation of pediatric skull radiographs.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 3697 skull examinations in children.
    • Analysis conducted between 1976 and 1979 at the University of Milan.
    • Assessment of radiographic findings for os incae presence and morphology.

    Main Results:

    • The study examined a significant sample size of pediatric skulls.
    • Data on the frequency and varied appearances of the os incae were collected.
    • Morphological variations were documented for diagnostic reference.

    Conclusions:

    • The os incae is a notable anatomical variant in pediatric skulls.
    • Radiologists should be aware of its features to avoid misinterpretation as trauma.
    • This research contributes to the understanding of normal skull ossification variants.
