Primary central nervous system lymphoma is an invasive disease in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients. Atypical presentations, including leptomeningeal involvement often described in cases with aggressive histology, have been reported but primary meningeal B-cell lymphoma appears to be very rare. A 40-year-old immunocompetent man developed a voluminous frontoparietal cranial vault tumor...

The paper presents abnormal craniofacial morphology of an adult male afflicted with premature closure of the sagittal suture. The skull is well preserved and there are no visible traits of surgical management which would be aimed to correctcranial deformation. In consequence of the restricted cranial development, some diameters of the skull were significantly altered. Basically, cranial vault m...

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is a dynamic and fluctuating within the cranial vault influenced by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), brain tissue, blood. Any increase in volume of its contents will vault. As response to ICP, compensation begins movement CSF from ventricle cerebral subarachnoid space increases absorption. Increased ICP state neurological emergency caused various injuries. It associated wi...

Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is a relatively uncommon entity. However, involvement of the cranial vault is an unusual manifestation of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We report the case of a 42-year old immunocompetent woman who presented with an enlarging mass involving the right parietal bone. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed an expansive tumor that affects the right p...

Osteoma is the most common primary bone tumor in the craniofacial skeleton. However, most of these are small, asymptomatic and arise from the facial bones or in relation to the paranasal sinuses. Cranial vault osteomas, that too giant and symptomatic are much rarer. We report a case of sixty year-old gentleman presented with a very slowly increasing, painless, hard swelling on the left side of ...

Enlargement of the skull vault occurs by appositional growth at the fibrous joints between the bones, termed cranial sutures. Relatively little is known about the developmental biology of this process, but genetically determined disorders of premature cranial suture fusion (craniosynostosis) provide one route to the identification of some of the key molecules involved. Mutations of the MSX2, FG...
