Association of external auditory canal atresia, vertical talus, and hypertelorism: confirmation of Rasmussen syndrome.

In 1979, Rasmussen et al. reported six members of a family with congenital, bilateral, symmetrical, and isolated subtotal atresia of the external auditory canal, bilateral foot abnormalities, and increased interocular distance. The family history suggested autosomal dominant inheritance of the syndrome. We report a 3-year-old girl whose symptoms are compatible with this diagnosis. Therefore, we suggest confirmation of the description by Rasmussen et al. as a distinct entity and suggest the term Rasmussen syndrome for this condition.

Morphometrics of the Neandertal talus.

A number of morphometric analyses of Neandertal tali since the turn of the century have failed to reach a consensus on the functional affinities of these fossil foot bones. To clarify the problem a univariate and multivariate analysis of the available Neandertal and Skhūl tali in relation to those of modern humans was performed using nine linear dimensions and four angles. Our analysis indicates that Neandertal tali are indistinguishable from modern human tali in the implied locomotor capabilities and similar in overall size and proportions. The primary differences between the fossil and modern tali involve the greater articular robustness of the fossils, probably to compensate for higher levels of biomechanical stress.

Brief communication: estimation of adult stature from the calcaneus and talus.

Calcanei and tali of 100 skeletons in the Hamann-Todd Collection at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History were measured. The skeletons represented 50 males and 50 females distributed equally by race, i.e., whites and blacks. Linear-regression equations, with standard errors ranging from 4.09 to 6.11 cm, were derived from these measurements for the purpose of estimating stature. Two independent control samples, including one comprised of remains of American servicemen lost in World War II and the Korea and Vietnam wars, were tested with relatively accurate results.
