{Abstract}: To evaluate the etiology of a subadult skeleton exhibiting increased size of the neurocranium and upper face.
Skeletal remains of a child aged between 1.5-2 years from the Early Modern Period (14th -18th), Žumberak, Croatia.
Metric and volumetric data were collected, and CT with VRT reconstruction was employed.
Metric analyses indicate that the neurocranium and upper face display increased size and volume.
A diagnosis of the communicating form of hydrocephalus is suggested.
This is the first published case of the communicating form of hydrocephalus.
It is difficult to determine the specific etiology of this condition based on skeletal remains.
