Morphological integration and modularity are important points of intersection between evolution and the development of organismal form. Identification and quantification of integration are also of increasing paleoanthropological interest. In this study, the "posterior face," i.e., the mandibular ramus and its integration with the associated midline and lateral basicranium, is analyzed in latera...

Background: Posterior Fossa Extra Dural Hematoma (PFEDH) is a rare entity but certain crucial structures are supposed to be injured. Because of limited space in the posterior fossa, clinical small volume hematoma can deteriorate patients. Therefore timely diagnosis and prompt intervention required.
 Objective: This study done analyse factors like demographic profile, mode injury, features ...

OBJECTIVE Cerebrospinal fluid leakage remains a significant cause of morbidity following posterior fossa surgery, and its treatment remains a difficult problem. The aim of the study was to propose a treatment algorithm for its management. METHODS A retrospective, single-center study was conducted on 147 patients who underwent elective posterior fossa surgery for a variety of diseases . Patien...

Trigeminal schwannomas (TS) are rare tumors that are located in the posterior and middle cranial fossae in about a quarter of the cases. The presentation pattern is different according to the involved compartment and the goal of surgery is complete removal. We present the case of a 35-year old woman who presented a left sided TS extending from the posterior to the middle fossa and cavernous sin...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The possible relationship of orbit deformities in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) to plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs) have not been fully elucidated. Our purpose was to review orbital changes in patients with craniofacial NF1. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed CT and MR imaging abnormalities of the orbit in 31 patients (18 male, 13 female; mean age, 14 years; age range 1...

Trigeminal neurinomas are relatively rare tumors and represent 0.2% of all intracranial tumors. (1–12) Trigeminal neurinomas usually arise from the Schwann cells of the sensory root and can originate in any section of the fifth cranial nerve; correspondingly, a variety of symptoms and signs may develop. Improved surgical outcome and long-term growth control have been uniformly reported after th...
