Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) images can easily be reconstructed from computed tomography (CT) data. Three-dimensional reconstruction of osseous surfaces facilitates the analysis and detection of post-traumatic dislocations, tumorous changes or disturbances in the mechanics of joints.

Brief communication: a case of congenital syphilis during the colonial period in Mexico City.

Congenital syphilis has been diagnosed very seldom in ancient populations. The case that we examined comes from San Jeronimo's Church (17th and 18th centuries AD; Mexico City). Coffin 43 contained an incomplete skeleton of an approximately 2-year-old infant. The pathological lesions of this skeleton include bilateral osteochondritis, diaphyseal osteomyelitis, and osteitis and/or periostitis on the long bones. The radiographic appearance depicts symmetrical osteomyelitic foci, particularly at the proximal extremity of both tibiae (Wimberger's sign). The skull exhibits hydrocephaly and periosteal changes on the vault, and the unerupted upper incisors evince dental hypoplasia and other pathological alterations reminiscent of Hutchinson's incisors. All these features strongly suggest a case of early congenital syphilis.
