Dissymmetry of the diploic canals of the human skull vault

Abstract

Modern science acknowledges both the universality of the principle of symmetry and the interconnection between symmetry and dissymmetry. In the structure of biological objects, including the human body and its parts, various deviations from bilateral symmetry are observed, which collectively characterize thedissymmetry of these objects. This statement fully applies to the skull. The significance of dissymmetry as a structural pattern of the skull can be considered from several perspectives. Deviations from symmetry in the human skull rarely exceed the limits of normal biological variability, but in some cases, they are caused by intracranial pathological processes and hold direct clinical relevance. The Aim of the Study: To examine and analyze individual morphological variants of dissymmetry in the diploic canals of the cranial vault in elderly humans.
