Note 796 — ON INJURIES OF THE HEAD.
Francis Adams translation
The separation of the bones at a suture, usually called diastasis, is noticed in the annotations on § 8. I have also alluded, in my analysis of the Fifth Book of the Epidemics, to the case in which the author, generally supposed by ancient authorities to be Hippocrates, mistook a suture for a fracture of the skull. See Epidem. v., 14; and Celsus, viii., 4.
