Anatomical observations on os inca and associated cranial deformities.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study describes the presence of os inca, incomplete metopic suture with asymmetrical frontal sinuses and multiple sutural deformities in a skull bone. Os inca has been reported to be associated with other cranial deformities. However, the present study, besides reporting os inca and associated sutural abnormalities, also highlights the presence of an unusual pterion in such cases. The aim is to provide anatomical insight into the morphology of sutures, frontal sinuses and associated cranial abnormalities. These are important findings which may be relevant for surgeons and radiologists in clinical practice.

Background: The sutural bones and fontanelle of the skull display unique morphological characters. Sutural bones are also called supernumerary bones or ossicles or Wormian bones (WB). These are irregular and develop from the independent ossification centers present along the cranial sutures. They appear on periosteal and endosteal surfaces of the skull with variations in size, number, shape, an...

In the present study, eight specimens of sheep (>1 year) of both sexes were dissected to provide a comprehensive description of the weight, allocation and nerve branches of the cranial cervical ganglion. The cranial cervical ganglion was found beneath the mandibular salivary gland. It was located ventromedial to tympanic bulla and ventrally to atlantic fossa. In three out of eight animals it wa...
متن کاملInca: a novel p21-activated kinase-associated protein required for cranial neural crest development.
Inca (induced in neural crest by AP2) is a novel protein discovered in a microarray screen for genes that are upregulated in Xenopus embryos by the transcriptional activator protein Tfap2a. It has no significant similarity to any known protein, but is conserved among vertebrates. In Xenopus, zebrafish and mouse embryos, Inca is expressed predominantly in the premigratory and migrating neural cr...
متن کاملEvaluation of Frequency of Four Common Nasal Anatomical Deformities in Primary Rhinoplasty in A Tehran Plastic Surgery Center
BACKGROUND In rhinoplasty, functional and cosmetic problems of the nose are corrected. These problems cause imbalance between the nasal subunit and face. Throughout these deformities, there are 4 variants, so there is a need for careful preoperative evaluation either for treatment or prevention of the occurrence. According to functional and aesthetic effects of these variables in rhinoplasty, ...
متن کاملHelmet Therapy for Positional Cranial Deformities in Children
Positional cranial deformities are a group of disorders that result in asymmetrical cranial vault due to the application of prolonged exterior pressure on the skull. These can be classified as deformational plagiocephaly, deformational brachycephaly and deformational scaphocephaly, in order of frequency. Clinical awareness of the condition has increased due to its increased incidence resulting ...
