Paleoradiology
– The Wormian “Inca” bone. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the head with back view demonstrating an Inca bone. This anatomical variation represents an additional bone in the lambdoid suture. The present type of Inca bone is typically seen in South American populations, but not in European ones.
The so called Inca bone, also known as the preinterparietal bone, os Inca, Goethe's ossicle, and os ipactal is a triangular sutural bone located at the previous site of the posterior fontanelle. It is common and a normal variant. The Inca bone is one of the Wormian bones.
History and etymology
The Inca bone is so called because of the supposedly high incidence of Inca bones in Peruvian mummies .
