We have reported the growth pattern of cranium as measured by computed tomography (CT) from birth to 18 years [1] . In the previous report , the CT cranial area was obtained using a built-in cursor and manually tracing the outer edge of the subject's cranial vault. Proper selection of CT slice location and careful tracing provide values that reflect the maximum dimensions of the cranium. To ens...

To date, no estimates of the long-term effect of cranial vault fractures on the risk of dying have been generated from historical or prehistoric skeletons. Excess mortality provides a perspective on the efficacy of modern treatment, as well as the human cost of cranial injuries largely related to interpersonal violence in past populations. Three medieval to early modern Danish skeletal samples ...

Extra medullary plasmacytomas occurring as solitary (primary) tumours or secondary manifestations of multiple myeloma most often involve the upper airways and paranasal sinuses. The skull is one of the rarest sites of extra medullary plasmacytoma. Myelomatous deposits in dural reflections distant from the bony skull, i.e. tentorium and falx, are rarer, and probably result from dissection along ...

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 CONCLUSIONS: Bitemporal to biparietal ratios are a quantitative, objective clinical measure that can be used to differentiate patients with significant trigonocephaly from those with metopic ridging but no significant cranial deformity. In no case of trigonocephaly did CT scan provide information that would alter surgical planning beyond that obtained from caliper measu...

Osteosarcoma is a malignant intra-osseous neoplasm producing osteoid. of the skull very rare and it usually involves cranial vault. The occurrence in base extremely rare.
