Background One of the most studied pathological conditions in human bone remains is porotic hyperostosisand cribra orbitalia, where the condition of porosity or bone tissue is porous and looks like a coral, sieveor sponge-like formation, and is often associated with a history of anemia. nutritional deficiencies, certaindiseases and so on. This is often seen in the skull because the bone tries to increase the marrow space availablefor increased red blood cell formation. Porotic hyperostosis and cribra orbitalia (some paleopathologists putinto the same category as porotic hyperostosis) occur due to conditions caused by the body’s attempts toproduce more red blood cells in the marrow to compensate for iron deficiency. The longer this iron deficiencycontinues, the more clearly these lesions will form. Objective This study was conducted to see the pictureof the lesion porotic hyperostosis and criba orbitalia associated with anemia and nutritional deficiencies.Methods This study is a case study by observing an intact skull without a mandible, by inspecting theregions of the skull and the roof of the orbit. Results Found coral, sieve or spongy formations on the roofof the skull and the roof of the orbit. The presence of a skull lesion can be an indicator of the fragility of anindividual’s bones. Conclusion Anemia and deficiency conditions can result in the formation of lesions inthe skull.
