Scaphocephaly (Scaphoid Head) The scaphocephalic or canoe-shaped skulls are characterizedby their excessive development of length in connection withdiminished development of breadth. Most frequently this de-formity occurs through premature obliteration of the sagittalsuture. The site of the latter usually projects upward in sucha way that the similarity of the shape of the skull to that of acanoe22 is quite apparent. The frontal and occipital regions are —The anthropologic significance of the keel formations on the skull was discussedby Matiegka. DISEASES OF THE SKULL 73. Fi<*. 11.—The sinistrodextral roentgen picture of a 14-year-old boy with a turri-cephalus, mentioned on page 72. Attention is called to the generalized erosion overthe inner surface of the skull and the visible impression made by the transverse lighter area in the region of the bregma is probably due to erosion caused by thepressure of Pacchionian bodies.
