Silver, I., B. Li, J. Szalai, and M. Johnston. Relationship between intracranial pressure and cervical lymphatic pressure and flow rates in sheep. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R1712–R1717, 1999.— Previous reports from our group demonstrated that about one-half of the total volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) removed from the cranial vault in sheep is transport...

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with unilateral proptosis and diffuse involvement of the cra-nial vault and brain parenchyma is extremely rare. A 50-year-old woman developed a progressively increasing proptosis of her right eye, associated with a subcutaneous mass over the right frontotemporal region over the last 5 months. CT scan showed a high-density contrast-enhancing lesion with wide involv...

Previous reports from our group demonstrated that about one-half of the total volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) removed from the cranial vault in sheep is transported into extracranial lymphatics, especially cervical lymphatic vessels in the neck. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that an elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) would increase cervical lymphatic pressure and lymph flow ...

BACKGROUND It is known that nonsynostotic plagiocephaly does not spontaneously improve, and the craniofacial deformities that result from it. This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of helmet therapy for the nonsynostotic plagiocephaly patient, and to suggest a new treatment strategy based on this analysis. METHODS A total of 108 pediatric patients who had undergone helmet thera...

The flat bones of the vertebrate skull vault develop from two migratory mesenchymal cell populations, the cranial neural crest and paraxial mesoderm. At the onset of skull vault development, these mesenchymal cells emigrate from their sites of origin to positions between the ectoderm and the developing cerebral hemispheres. There they combine, proliferate and differentiate along an osteogenic p...
