Main Article Content
Abstract
Background of the Study: Accessory bone found in the human skull bone between squamous part of parietal and in between lambda suture is called inca bone or wormian bone .A total of 100 dried skulls were examined to know the anatomical variations of the inter parietal bone. This variants of the bones are considered as normal. This knowledge of the study very useful for the neurosurgeon, orthopedic surgeons and forensic experts for their clinical intervention.
