Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Two juvenile skeletons excavated from medieval Norwich each have a well-defined cystic cavitation. One involves the distal femur and the other the proximal tibia. The dry bone and radiographic appearance, as well as the location and age of the individuals, support the diagnosis of metaphyseal cortical defects. Although well-known in clinical practice, especially in children, this appears to be the first published evidence for the condition in British archaeological material. No other anomalies were detected on the two skeletons. However, the occurrence of two cases in the same cemetery raises the possibility of a genetic influence in the condition. | |||||||
