Paleopathology Case 03

This skull is from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile dating from approximately the 3rd century AD. The two photographs are representative of what is a very chronic process that did not involve the internal table of the skull in any way, although it probably limited the use of the eye on that side--due to compression, not direct invasion.
