A probable case of infantile cortical hyperostosis in 2nd–4th centuries AD Romania

ConclusionsThe perinatal age of the individual, along with lesion morphology and location, suggests a diagnosis of infantile cortical hyperostosis.LimitationsThe analysis would benefit from further stable isotope and mitochondrial genome analyses, which was limited due to the absence of comparative human and faunal remains from the site.Suggestions for further researchFurther multidisciplinary research on human archaeological remains from Romania would provide a clearer image of past disease and life histories in this geographic area.
