title: [Paleopathologic findings of premature coronal suture closure].
abstract: The work describes paleopathologic finding of brachycephaly deformation in 4 adult skulls, caused by premature coronal suture closure. Skulls come from the 35 pieces collection of craniostenoses, found in osteologic collection of 745 skulls from Broumov Ossuary. They were examined by cranioscopy, craniometry, x-ray and CT methods. Presence of brachycephaly in Broumov collection of skulls ant their percentage in the collection of craniosynostoses is discussed in the context with recent clinical data.
