The possibility of diagnosing meningiomas in palaeopathology

Abstract

Abstract After a study of approximately 3,000 ancient skulls, from the Neolithic period to the Late Middle Ages, the presence of five lesions suspected of having corresponded to a mening oma during life were detected. The study is comparative with the current clinical picture of these lesions, with regard to their morphological as well as to their radiographic aspect. We consider that the situation of the lesions, the macroscopic appearance of the osteogenic or osteoloytic alterations, associated vascular grooves, age and sex is sufficient to diagnose these tumours with a small margin of error.
