人类颅骨筛状眶与多孔性骨肥厚研究回顾

doi:10.16359/j.1000-3193/AAS.2023.0032

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

筛状眶(Cribra orbitalia)和多孔性骨肥厚(Porotic hyperostosis)是考古出土人类骨骼遗存上最常见的两种病理改变，主要表现为颅骨穹窿和眼眶部位骨骼表面的多孔性损伤、板障增厚和皮质层变薄。在过去的一个多世纪里，众多学者对这两种现象有着广泛而深入的研究，认为筛状眶和多孔性骨肥厚与贫血、坏血病、传染性疾病、创伤、文化行为等因素密切相关，可以反映古代人群的饮食结构、生业经济模式、营养健康状况、医疗卫生条件等方面的信息。国内对筛状眶和多孔性骨肥厚的关注相对较晚，专题研究较少，但我国人骨遗存出土数量多，年代跨度大，地域分布广，为进一步广泛深入研究筛状眶、多孔性骨肥厚以及其他病理现象提供了良好的基础条件。本文在已有研究成果的基础上，回顾筛状眶和多孔性骨肥厚的发现与命名、诊断和分级、病因和发病机制，以及这两种病理现象之间的关系，希望能对相关主题的后续研究有所助益。

Abstract:

Cribra orbitalia and porotic hyperostosis are two of the most common pathological changes in ancient human bone unearthed from archaeological sites. These two traits are manifested as porous cranial lesions in the skull vault and orbital roof accompanied by dipolic thickening and outer table thinning. Over the past century, many scholars have conducted extensive research on these two traits that are related to anemia, scurvy, infectious disease, trauma, malnutrition, cultural behaviors, etc, and can reflect details of people’s diet, way of life, nutritional, health and medical status. Chinese attention to these two traits is relatively late, and there are few published monographs. However, there are many Chinese specimens that provide good research conditions for further extensive research. This paper reviews the discovery and naming, diagnosis and scale, etiology and pathogenesis of cribra orbitalia and porotic hyperostosis, as well as as well as the relationship between these two pathological phenomena.

Key words: Paleopathology, Cribra orbitalia
