摘　　要：The asterion is the point viewed in the norma lateralis of the skull, where the parietomastoid, occipito-mastoid and the lambdoid sutures meet. In the infants, it is the site of the posterolateral or mastoid fontanelle, which closes by the second year. Interestingly, the name ＂asterion＂ is derived from Latin and it stands for ＂edible root＂, or ＂starry＂. The asterion was a river God of Argos, in the Peloponnesos, southern Greece. The standard textbooks do not emphasize much on the asterion. As per standard textbooks, the parietomastoid and the occipitomastoid sutures meet the lateral end of the lambdoid suture at the asterion.The asterion is the point viewed in the norma lateralis of the skull, where the parietomastoid, occipito-mastoid and the lambdoid sutures meet.
