This report details a technique for spheno-orbital reconstruction after meningioma resection. The approach uses a life-size skull model generated from a thin-slice craniomaxillofacial computed tomogram. On this skull model, the planned area of bone removal of the involved orbit and sphenoid is outlined on the normal side opposite the lesion. A three-dimensional implant is then generated by reve...

Sir, The clivus is one of the common sites for diverse pathological lesions. 1 Tuberculosis commonly involves the craniovertebral junction causing atlanto-axial dislocation. However, primary skull base tuberculoma is extremely rare. A case of primary spheno-clival tuberculoma without involvement of the craniovertebral junction is reported and the management is discussed. A 24-year-old, non-immu...

The margin of the mandibular foramen is irregular. Lingula is a tongue-like flap of bone that overlaps the mandibular foramen anteromedially .It is surmounted by a sharp spine, the lingual of the mandible which gives attachment to the spheno mandibular ligament; at its lower and back part is a notch from which the mylohyoid groove runs obliquely downward and forward, and lodges the mylohyoid ve...

Spheno-orbital meningioma have traditionally been defined as secondary tumors of the orbit originating from the dura of the sphenoid wing bone. Nevertheless, pathologic findings reveal a distinct periorbital component as a defining feature of these lesions. These tumors are characterized by an intraosseous mass growth leading to a significant hyperostosis involving the sphenoid wing, the orbita...

Les manifestations ophtalmologiques au cours de la maladie de Von Recklinghausen sont rares. Seulement quelques cas ont été rapportés dans la littérature internationale. Nous rapportons un cas d'exophtalmie pulsatile révélatrice d'une agénésie sphéno-orbitaire au cours de la maladie de Von Recklinghausen. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the...

I give in this lecture an overview of the features of the Mathematica package SARAH, and explain how it can be used together with other codes to study all aspects of a BSM model. The focus will be on the description of the analytical calculations which SARAH can perform and how this information is used to generate automatically a spectrum generator based on SPheno. I also summarize the main asp...

Current trends in research on craniofacial syndromes have led to enhanced interest in the cranial base as a contributory factor in the development of normal and abnormal midfacial structure. Indeed, attention has focused upon one particular growth plate in the posterior cranial base, the spheno-occipital synchondrosis, since it has been shown that alterations in this structure are associated wi...
