Introduction Given advancements in endoscopic image quality, instrumentation, surgical navigation, skull base closure techniques, and anatomical understanding, the endonasal endoscopic approach has rapidly evolved into a widely utilized technique for removal of sellar and parasellar tumors. Although pituitary adenomas and Rathke cleft cysts constitute the majority of lesions removed via this ro...

Summary We present the case of an 87-year-old female with a one-week history redness, swelling, and pain in left eye, accompanied by headache neck pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated extreme enlargement supraorbital artery, engaging superior rectus muscle eye. could not find similar articles well-recognized scientific networks. Conservative treatment was conducted, no improvement. ...

One hundred and eight patients were studied with fluid-filled oculoplethysmography and carotid phonoangiography (OPG-CPA) and by arteriography. Thirty-two patients also had "Doppler evaluation" of supraorbital arterial flow. The OPG-CPA correctly predicted the degree of occlusion in 76% of the involved vessels, including the degree of occlusion of each carotid for each patient (63%). The OPG-CP...

Hypotheses regarding patterns of stress, strain and deformation in the craniofacial skeleton are central to adaptive explanations for the evolution of primate craniofacial form. The complexity of craniofacial skeletal morphology makes it difficult to evaluate these hypotheses with in vivo bone strain data. In this paper, new in vivo bone strain data from the intraorbital surfaces of the supraor...

INTRODUCTION As fractures of the supraorbital region are far less common than midfacial or orbital fractures, a study was initiated to investigate whether fist blows could lead to fractures similar to those often seen in the midface. METHODS A detailed skull model and an impactor resembling a fist were created and a fist blow to the supraorbital region was simulated. A transient finite elemen...

One of the most reasonable hypotheses regarding the functional significance of the browridge is that the supraorbital torus forms in response to masticatory stress during development. Oyen, Walker, and Rice (1979) have recently proposed a model that tests this hypothesis: if browridges are functionally related to masticatory stresses on the cranial vault, then changes in the biomechanics of the...

We describe a new semionotiform fish, Tlayuamichin itztli gen. et sp. nov. from the Early Cretaceous (Albian) of Mexico, which constitutes one of the youngest semionotid articulated remains. The new taxon is represented by five well-preserved specimens from the Tlayúa Quarry near Tepexi de Rodríguez in Puebla State, central Mexico. A series of paraethmoid bones anterior to the supraorbital seri...
