Cases of age estimation are seen by Forensic Practitioners. Identification is the establishment of the individuality of a person. A medico-legal dispute can arise at any age. Age estimation is needed to apply for government posts or pension or in cases of amnesia. Legal enforcement agencies often bring cases for estimation of age, a few examples are that for employment, superannuation, pension settlements and benefits. Use of fusion of sutures on the skull with other factors has been found reliable for age estimation. In the present study we studied skull roentgenogram of patients. These patients were advised roentgenogram for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose from other clinical departments. We studied the stage of fusion of coronal sutures in those roentgenograms where age of the patient was documented after verification against a standard identity proof. The suture was divided into upper half and lower half and stage of fusion was documented. We followed the Key stage of fusion of sutures. The earliest age of commencement of suture fusion was at 34 years and 30 years in its upper half and lower half respectively in our study. The earliest age of completion of suture fusion was 56 years in upper half and 50 years at lower half. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
