despite many advances in the field of cancer treatment, intra-cranial tumor cases still have a poor prognosis. this research has been carried out in order to describe age and sex distributions and histopathological characteristics and site of intra-cranial tumors. we studied 425 patients with intra-cranial tumor whose samples were examined in pathology center of imam khomeini hospital from 1991...

The skeleton of an adult male, dating to the Early Iron Age of the Assyrian Period (B.C. 8th7th cc), recovered in South Eastern Turkey was analyzed. It reveals significant biological and cultural deformations. This so-called Zeviya Tivilki individual represents the first known record of circular-type double bandage artificial cranial deformation from the Iron Age in Anatolia. The presence of cr...

This article aims to increase awareness about the utility of (18)F -FDG-PET/CT in the evaluation of cranial nerve (CN) pathology. We discuss the clinical implication of detecting perineural tumor spread, emphasize the primary and secondary (18)F -FDG-PET/CT findings of CN pathology, and illustrate the individual (18)F -FDG-PET/CT CN anatomy and pathology of 11 of the 12 CNs.

In children with suspected cranial pathologies, three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) imaging is superior to other modalities. It can help differentiate actual pathology from normal or variant appearances. Sutures and fontanelles, synostosis, abnormalities of head shape without craniosynostosis, congenital calvarial defects, cranial fractures, bone tumors, and postoperative cranial va...

treatment of skull base disorders and is routinely used in some centers for the treatment of neoplastic and non-neoplastic cranial base pathology. The group of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques used to approach the cranial base are also known as expanded endoscopic approaches (EEA), which are classified in a modular fashion under two main categories: sagittal (or cranio-caudal) and coron...
