Abstract

The Sutures in the human skull are zones of separation between skull bones, which also allows the skullbones to grow in a fashion along with increase in size of brain, early closure of sutures (craniosynostosis)may lead to increase in intracranial tension and it pushes the soft skull outward which leads to undulatingpatterns formation in inner plate of skull called as silver beaten or copper beaten skull. Here we documentan incidental finding of copper beaten skull pattern in a case of road traffic accident brought to Mortuary ofAIIMS Bhubaneswar.
