National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine. 2012 Jan-Mar; 3(1): 82-84.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/152018Background:- Studies of non metric cranial variants have been a field of considerable interest to research workers especially because of their racial and regional importance. Material and Methods:- Total of 40 north Indian skulls of U.P. were studied for the incidence of metopism, a cranial variant in the present study. Results:- Metopism was found in 2(5%) of total of human skulls.
