Saga accounts of Egil’s skull are compared to descriptions of Paget’s disease (ostetis deformans), which is a rare rare bone disorder which often leads to enlargement of the skull. Harðarson argues that Egil exhibits symptoms of this. His analysis is based on the way in which Egil is described in his old age, but also how his skull is described in the last chapter of the saga.

Annotation

Saga accounts of Egil’s skull are compared to descriptions of Paget’s disease (ostetis deformans), which is a rare rare bone disorder which often leads to enlargement of the skull. Harðarson argues that Egil exhibits symptoms of this. His analysis is based on the way in which Egil is described in his old age, but also how his skull is described in the last chapter of the saga.

Lýsing

Frásagnir í Eglu um höfuðbein skáldsins eru bornar saman við lýsingar á Pagets heilkenni (ostetis deformans), en það er fátíður beinsjúkdómur sem leggist oft á höfuðkúpuna. Þórður færir rök fyrir að Egill hafi þjást af af þessum sjúkdómi. Sjúkdómsgreining byggist á lýsingu sögunnar á hrörnun Egils í elli og einnig lýsingunni á höfuðkúpu Egils við beinaupptökuna í lok sögunnar.
