Abstract

The first case was a traumatic lesion of facial skeleton of 30-40-year-old man coming from 5th century from Líbivá (district of Breclav). The healed fracture of the caudal part of condylar process of the right side mandible was examined. Due to changes of the anatomical relatioship of the temporomandibular joint (both bone and muscle systems) irregular weighting of zygomaxillar complexes appeared on both sides of the face. This reality is manifested in strong asymmetry of middle part of the face. Authors suppose that the trauma occured between 9-12 year of suffered individual (before second acceleration of face skeleton growth). The second case founded in the ossuary in Krtiny (near Brno) was dated from the 13th-18th centuries. A skull of about 20-30-year-old woman has traces of healed traumatic lesion of the right incisive bone. Very thin fracture line runs to the anterior nasal aperture through bottom of the right orbit (Le Fort II).
