Three-dimensional Computed Tomography Imaging of a Frontal Skull Base Fracture —Case Report—

Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography Diagnosis of Cranium Bifidum with Meningocele in a Lamb

Abstract   Case Description- A three-day-old male Kordi lamb had a soft painless fluctuating mass on the mid-parietal region, with no clinical signs except difficulty in standing; was referred to the clinic. Clinical Findings- Clinical examination revealed a normal body temperature, a heart rate, a respiratory rate, and inability to stand without any congenital defects Three-dimensional comp...

Biomechanics of frontal skull fracture.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether an energy failure level applies to the skull fracture mechanics in unembalmed post-mortem human heads under dynamic frontal loading conditions. A double-pendulum model was used to conduct frontal impact tests on specimens from 18 unembalmed post-mortem human subjects. The specimens were isolated at the occipital condyle level, and pre-...

Intraoperative Computed Tomography/Angiography Guided Resection of Skull Base Lesions

Computed tomography of the human developing anterior skull base.

The ossification of the anterior skull base, especially the lamina cribrosa, has been studied by computed tomography and histopathology. Sixteen human fetuses, (referred to our laboratory for pathological examination after spontaneous abortion between 18 and 32 weeks of gestation) and three infants, (1, 2 and 6 years of age, respectively) were examined. The cartilaginous preformation of the ant...

Advances in Computed Tomography Evaluation of Skull Base Diseases

Introduction Computed tomography (CT) is a key component in the evaluation of skull base diseases. With its ability to clearly delineate the osseous anatomy, CT can provide not only important tips to diagnosis but also key information for surgical planning. Objectives The purpose of this article is to describe some of the main CT imaging features that contribute to the diagnosis of skull base t...
