title: Preinterparietal bone in man.
abstract: 1500 skulls have been studies for the preinterparietal bone. It has been found in 6 skulls (0.4%), occupying the superior angle of the occipital bone lying posterior to the parieto-occipital suture. In this study the dispute regarding the preinterparietal bone, whether a wormian bone or a separate entity, has been widely taken into account and discussed.
