Abstract
The sutural bones are unnamed bones commonly found at the level of lambda and lambdoid suture in a human skull. They vary from person to person in number and shape. An adult human skull with complete metopic suture lying between two frontal bones was found. The same skull showed a large number of sutural bones at the lambda and along the lambdoid suture. It is important to know about such variation because they can mislead the diagnosis of fracture of skull bones. Knowledge of this variation is very important for forensic experts, anthropologists, radiologists, orthopedists and neurosurgeons.
