Identification des cas de trépanations dans les populations anciennes : base de données et outil interactif de soutien au diagnostic différentiel

Abstract: Les nombreux cas de trépanations crâniennes dans les populations anciennes sont identifiés très majoritairement à partir de la forme de l'ouverture pratiquée sur la voûte. En l'absence de traces caractéristiques des outils du praticien, il est toutefois toujours possible qu'il s'agisse d'une « pseudo-trépanation », c'est-à-dire d'un orifice d'origine pathologique ou taphonomique mimant l'allure d'une ouverture anthropique. Notre étude a pour but d'améliorer le travail de comparaison du diagnostic différentiel … Show more

“…Around the hole, deep grooves remained as evidence of the sawing method for the incisions, which left cut marks along three of the margins of the perforation—Sides A, B, C and E. The operation would be completed using the lever technique to remove the skull fragment as demonstrated by the grooves on the C and D sides of the intervened area and the irregular edge on the D and E sides. These features allow us to discard post mortem damage (Weber & Wahl, 2006) or other kinds of pathologies resulting in bone perforations, such as contusions, wounds inflicted with blunt weapons, pressure fractures, metastatic carcinomas, myelomas or infectious diseases (Campillo, 2007; Kaufman, Whitaker, & McTavish, 1997; Partiot et al, 2017; Verano, 2016).…”

“…What is usually interpreted as large, newly formed bone blade indicative of healing and post‐surgery survival may result instead from osteolytic processes or developmental defects. For these features in particular, a differential diagnosis should consider preferentially the large number of defects caused by pathological, physiological or even taphonomical processes, reported as pseudotrepanation (Stewart, 1971; Stewart, 1975a; Stewart, 1975b; ÓDonnabhain, 2003; Partiot et al ., 2017; Sparacello et al ., 2018). For example, we suggest that the diagnosis of the Neolithic case of Ensisheim (illustrated as type C: fig.…”

“…In fully skeletonized specimens, the identification of trepanation is usually based on the shape and cutting profile of the cranial opening (Verano, 2016; Partiot et al ., 2017), resulting from both the surgical procedure itself and, if presence, any bony remodelling from the healing process. Therefore, a comprehensive knowledge of the morphological features of the cranial opening at each stage of the healing process is crucial for a differential diagnosis.…”
