hydrocephalus, Nuštar, eastern Croatia

Sažetak
A case of a hydrocephalus was identified in early modern age cemetery located around the chapel of St. Anna in Nuštar, eastern Croatia. Skeletal remains belong to a child younger than 1 year. Abnormal and enlarged morphology and increased cranial capacity are indicative of the hydrocephalus. Along with enlarged cranium, macroscopic analysis of the remains revealed set of lesions both on the skull and the long bones. In our study we focus on changes on both cranial and postcranial remains in order to better understand anatomical and behavioural consequences of hydrocephalus. We will include a thorough differential diagnosis of athological features in order to establish their relationship to hydrocephalus. Furthermore, the observed case will provide additional information about the health conditions in the community from Nuštar, given that despite its condition, the child was buried along other members of the community.
