Suday, O cber 8, 2017 CONCLUSION: Open cranial vault remodeling with fronto-orbital advancement is a safe and reproducible procedure with excellent literature to support short-term outcomes. However, little data exist to evaluate this patient population as they mature. Our study critically evaluates physical exam findings, neurocognitive development, and anthropometric assessments in this patie...

Acalvaria is a rare congenital malformation of unknown pathogenesis characterized by the absence of the flat bones of the cranial vault, dura mater and associated muscles, while the central nervous system is usually preserved. The most accepted physiopathogenic theory suggests the presence of a postneurulation defect with normal placement the embryonic ectoderm. The present report describes neo...

Primary Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma of the cranial scalp and skull vault is a rare disease. We are describing a case of the same in a 50-year-old man. He was presented with a diffuse swelling in the left side scalp since 4 months of duration and progressively enlarging in size. On local Examination of the scalp, there was a diffuse swelling in the left parietal and occipital region of scalp. Imaging...

This article presents an approach for estimating the sexual dimorphism of adult crania using three-dimensional geometric morphometric methods. The study sample consisted of 139 crania of known sex (73 males and 66 females) belonging to persons who lived during the first half of the 20th century in Bohemia. The three-dimensional co-ordinates of 82 ecto-cranial landmarks and 39 semi-landmarks cov...

Since the first cranial remodeling devices were introduced in 1979, both their design and availability have continued to evolve. Today, these d4~vices are used to treat deformational plagiocephaly and are used as adjuncts to surgery for craniosynostosis. In deformational plagiocephaly, the goal is to improve cranial symmetry and return the cran...

We describe a case of giant cell reparative granuloma in the cranial vault, which is an extremely rare location for this entity. CT scans showed an enhancing skull tumor with no surrounding sclerosis in the frontal bone. MR images showed a mass isointense with gray matter on both T1- and T2-weighted images.

The purpose of this study was to provide an objective analysis and quantify the intracranial volume change produced by cranial vault distraction osteogenesis. We recently published a technique to expand the cranial vault by distraction in symptomatic patients with findings of cephalocranial disproportion. Resolution of symptoms was documented in that publication. In this current study, we analy...
