Role of mastoid pneumatization in temporal bone fractures.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The mastoid portion of the temporal bone has multiple functional roles in the organism, including regulation of pressure in the middle ear and protection of the inner ear. We investigated whether mastoid pneumatization plays a role in the protection of vital structures in the temporal bone during direct lateral trauma. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was performed on 20 ...
متن کاملTemporal bone pneumatization in cystic fibrosis: a correlation with genotype?
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Paranasal sinus pneumatization in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is less extensive compared to the general population and seems to be correlated to CF genotype. Interestingly, in CF patients temporal bone pneumatization (TBP) is more extensive compared to the general population, and middle ear pathology is generally uncommon in CF. It is debated whether TBP is influenc...
متن کاملAsymmetric temporal bone pneumatization: an MR imaging pitfall.
A healthy 44-year-old woman was evaluated neurologically because she had had dizziness without vertigo and right facial pain for several months. The pain was not typical for trigeminal neuralgia, and she had had no loss of hearing. Physical examination showed no abnormalities. Cranial MR imaging was ordered for evaluation of the cerebellopontine angle. Axial MR images showed apparently normal e...
متن کاملExtensive craniocervical bone pneumatization.
We report a case of extensive abnormal craniocervical bone pneumatization accidentally found in a patient without any history of trauma or surgery. The patient had only mild unspecific thoracic pain and bilateral paresthesia that did not correlate with computed tomography findings.
متن کاملCharaCteristiCs and variation of the temporal bone pneumatization in asian Homo erectus
The temporal bone is used frequently to identify taxonomic affinities of genus Homo fossils based on external morphological features. In the meantime, the temporal bone pneumatization has rarely been examined, particularly in Asian Homo erectus. We put forward a comparative morphological and quantitative analysis in Asian Homo erectus from the sites of Ngandong, Sambungmacan, and Zhoukoudian, a...
