Abstract

Objectives: In the context of a joint Mummy Research Project of the National Archaeological Museum, the Hellenic Institute of Egyptology and the Athens Medical Centre, an Egyptian mummy of the mid-Ptolemaic Period was transferred to our hospital and was thoroughly investigated with Computed Tomography. Methods: The mummy was carefully removed from its coffin and scanned in a 64-detector row computed tomographic scanner. Multiplanar and anthropometric measurements were obtained using advanced software. Results: The mummy appeared to be well-preserved and belonged to a young male adult. Among the findings, the most interesting and uncommon one was the asymmetry of the maxillary sinuses and the orbits. There were no signs of trauma. Conclusions: Computed Tomography revealed in a non-destructive way a rare, based on the published data, facial deformity in an Egyptian mummy attributed to chronic maxillary atelectasis.
埃及木乃伊包裹下的慢性上颌不张
目的:在国家考古博物馆、希腊埃及学研究所和雅典医学中心联合木乃伊研究项目的背景下,将一具托勒密中期的埃及木乃伊转移到我院,并使用计算机断层扫描对其进行了彻底的研究。方法:将木乃伊小心地从棺材中取出,在64排计算机断层扫描仪中扫描。采用先进的软件进行多平面和人体测量。结果:这具木乃伊保存完好,属于一名年轻的成年男性。其中,上颌窦与眼眶的不对称是最有趣和不常见的。没有外伤的迹象。结论:计算机断层扫描以一种非破坏性的方式显示了一种罕见的,基于已发表的数据,埃及木乃伊的面部畸形归因于慢性上颌不张。
