Abstract
Wormian bones are accessory bones found in neurocranium of human skulls. These are formations associated with insufficient rate of suture closure. They vary in size, shape and number. During the routine osteology demonstration class for undergraduate students in Rajarajeswari medical college, Bengaluru, a rare occurrence of multiple Wormian bones were found in an adult Human skull. All together there were 27 Wormian bones extending bilaterally along the sagittal suture and lambdoid suture. The same skull showed the presence of inca bones at lambda and a complete metopic suture. The sagittal suture is the uncommon site for the occurrence of Wormian bone as reported in earlier literature which prompted us to report this case as their presence is important for Radiologists, Neurosurgeons and Orthopedicians as these findings can mislead the diagnosis of fracture in the skull.
