摘要:A case of atresia of the external acoustic meatus is described here. The lesion occurs in a calvarium belonging to the large sample of skeletal remains excavated from the ossuary at St. Jacob's Chapel (Bratislava, Southwest Slovakia) dated to the 15th-18th centuries. The affected individual was probably a female aged 40-50 years at the time of death. Macroscopic and CT examinations were performed. Congenital atresia and/or infection of the external acoustic meatus as the causes of disease are discussed. The lesion is unilateral localized on the right side.
