The analysis of trauma to the skeleton is an important aspect of forensic case work, but most major pathology references devote limited attention to this topic. The aim of this paper is to analyze bevelling in exit gunshot wounds from a series of 14 cases with 17 exit wounds. Assessment of bevelling was made by measuring the endocranial and ectrocranial size of the wound, locating the most pron...

The healing process after implantation of sintered bone in the rat parietal bone was compared with that of synthetic hydroxyapatite using both scanning electron and light microscopy. The results showed that the differences between the sintered natural bone and the synthetic hydroxyapatite implantations were in the states of bone union and the bioresorbability of the implanted materials, even th...

Abstract Background Penetrating brain injury (PBI) can be caused by several objects ranging from knives to chopsticks. However, an assault with hand drill while working in a factory is peculiar accident. Because of its rarity and lack standard protocol management, the management PBI complex.

A fourteen-day-old warmblood colt presented with severe neurological signs of unknown origin. The foal was recumbent and comatose, showed spastic motion the head. Computed tomography (CT) examination revealed multiple impression fractures to left parietal temporal bones, as well traumatic brain injury. Three fragments bone were dislocated into cranial vault. surgically treated within 24 hours p...

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the bone is an unusual presentation Hodgkin's lymphoma, with primary cranial vault (PCVL) being rarest lymphomas. We describe a case immunocompetent elderly patient new onset gait imbalance and cognitive delays. Brain imaging showed large extra-axial mass osseous invasion. An initial misdiagnosis meningioma led to delays in management. Further work up included ...

Background: In several conditions we have face cranial bone defects. Reconstruction of these defects remains one of the most challenging problems encountered by craniofacial surgeons. Objective: To evaluate bone repair in cranial bone defects by use of an implant made of octacalcium phosphate in combination with bone matrix gelatin (OCP/BMG). Methods: We used 40, 5–6-week-old male Sprague-Dawle...
