1913, Maria Montessori, Pedagogical Anthropology, page 244:

Like Chaucer's Miller, David Ritchie, the original of Scott's Black Dwarf, was an example of pachycephaly; i.e., he had the ability to run through doors with his hard skull.

1978, Jill Rubenstein, Sir Walter Scott: a reference guide, page 105:

The Miller breaks doors with his head (lines 550-51). This claim is feasible, for several nineteenth- and twentieth-century men are know to have performed similar feats. Thus 'we may be sure that between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries stretched a long, thick-set line of heroes whose pachycephaly was exploited to stir the wonder and respect of their less gifted fellows' (p 419).

1990, Caroline D. Eckhardt, Dorothy E. Smith, Chaucer's General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales: An Annotated Bibliography, page 383:

Thus, synostosis of the sagittal suture, with growth on the anterior and posterior margins of the parietal, produces a long or dolico-cephalic head; synotosis of the coronal gives rise to the platycephalic variety of the brachyeephalic head ; of the lambdoidal to the pachycephalic variety, and so on.

1862, A Year-book of Medicine, Surgery, and Their Allied Sciences:

I possess the skull of a woman of middle age, dolichocephalic, with a cephalic index of 77, and pachycephalic, which has no synostosis of any suture; and I have seen the cranium of a leptocephalic old woman, which not only has no synostosis of any suture, but in which, after maceration, the sutures were no longer sufficient to hold the bones of the vault toether, there being diastases, as in the crania of little children.

1873, J. Barnard Davis, “Upon a Scaphoid Skull: A Letter from Prof. Luigi Calori to Dr. Barnard Davis”, in Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, page 147:

Virchow stated that premature fusion of this suture results in pachycephalic deformity.

1956, Ann paediatr fenn - Volume 2, page 70:

pachydermy

If, as the inflammation recurs, the pachydermy spread beyond the point originally attacked, all the different grades of the disease are often exhibited simultaneously in the same extremity.

1883, Felix von Niemeyer, A Text-book of Practical Medicine:

Here in Edinburgh, whether on account of the pachydermy of its people or because the secretion is less virulent than it is elsewhere, cases of dermatitis caused by the plant are few.

1917, Botanical Society of Edinburgh, Transactions - Botanical Society of Edinburgh - Volume 26, page 302:

From the clinical point of view, there was striking, symmetrically expressed pachydermy of extremities, forehead, crown of the head and sometimes even the face with the symptom of cutis certicis gyrata.

1976, Excerpta medica. Section 31: Arthritis and rheumatism:

Pachydermic changes may take place either in the interarytenoid commissure or in the mucous membrane covering the true vocal cords, or it may exist in a generally diffuse form within the larynx.

1895, The International Medical Annual and Practitioner's Index:

In pachydermic idiocy the symptoms are more decided and the appearance more distinctive. In the cretin the hands are of a more normal shape, whereas in the pachydermic idiot the fingers are lumpy and the hands swollen.

1898, William Wotherspoon Ireland, The Mental Affections of Children, page 242:

In some cases, these changes can spread beyond the injury site to the entire limb, and in the worst case, in addition to excruciating pain and hyperesthesia, the skin becomes pachydermic.
