  • Clinical Importance of the Middle Meningeal Artery
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository FOLIA MEDICA CRACOVIENSIA 41 Vol. LIII, 1, 2013: 41–46 PL ISSN 0015-5616 Przemysław Chmielewski1, Janusz skrzat1, Jerzy waloCha1 CLINICAL IMPORTANCE OF THE MIDDLE MENINGEAL ARTERY Abstract: Middle meningeal artery (MMA)is an important branch which supplies among others cranial dura mater. It directly attaches to the cranial bones (is incorporated into periosteal layer of dura mater), favors common injuries in course of head trauma. This review describes available data on the MMA considering its varability, or treats specific diseases or injuries where the course of MMA may have clinical impact. Key words: Middle meningeal artery (MMA), aneurysm of the middle meningeal artery, epidural he- matoma, anatomical variation of MMA. TOPOGRAPHY OF THE MIDDLE MENINGEAL ARTERY AND ITS BRANCHES Middle meningeal artery (MMA) [1] is most commonly the strongest branch of maxillary artery (from external carotid artery) [2]. It supplies blood to cranial dura mater, and through the numerous perforating branches it nourishes also periosteum of the inner aspect of cranial bones. It enters the middle cranial fossa through the foramen spinosum, and courses between the dura mater and the inner aspect of the vault of the skull. Next it divides into two terminal branches — frontal (anterior) which supplies blood to bones forming anterior cranial fossa and the anterior part of the middle cranial fossa; parietal branch (posterior), which runs more horizontally toward the back and supplies posterior part of the middle cranial fossa and supratentorial part of the posterior cranial fossa.

Morphology of the Pterion in Serbian Population Morfología del Pterion en Población Serbia Knezi Nikola1; Stojsic Dzunja Ljubica1; Adjic Ivan2; Maric Dusica1 & Pupovac Nikolina4 KNEZI, N.; STOJSIC, D. L.; ADJIC, I.; MARIC, D. & PUPOVAC, N. Morphology of the pterion in Serbian population. Int. J. Morphol., 38(4):820-824, 2020. SUMMARY: The pterion is a topographic point on the lateral aspect of the skull where frontal, sphenoid, parietal and temporal bones form the H or K shaped suture. This is an important surgical point for the lesions in anterior and middle cranial fossa. This study was performed on 50 dry skulls from Serbian adult individuals from Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad. The type of the pterion on both sides of each skull was determined and they are calcified in four types (sphenoparietal, frontotemporal, stellate and epipteric). The distance between the center of the pterion and defined anthropological landmarks were measured using the ImageJ software. Sphenoparietal type is predominant with 86 % in right side and 88 % in left side. In male skulls, the distance from the right pterion to the frontozygomatic suture is 39.89±3.85 mm and 39.67±4.61 mm from the left pterion to the frontozygomatic suture. In female skulls the distance is 37.38±6.38 mm on the right and 35.94±6.46 mm on the left. The shape and the localization of the pterion are important because it is an anatomical landmark and should be used in neurosurgery, traumatology and ophthalmology.

  • CLOSURE of CRANIAL ARTICULATIONS in the SKULI1 of the AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINE by A
    CLOSURE OF CRANIAL ARTICULATIONS IN THE SKULI1 OF THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINE By A. A. ABBIE, Department of Anatomy, University of Adelaide INTRODUCTION While it is well known that joint closure advances more or less progressively with age, there is still little certainty in matters of detail, mainly for lack of adequate series of documented skulls. In consequence, sundry beliefs have arisen which tend to confuse the issue. One view, now disposed of (see Martin, 1928), is that early suture closure indicates a lower or more primitive type of brain. A corollary, due to Broca (see Topinard, 1890), that the more the brain is exercised the more is suture closure postponed, is equally untenable. A very widespread belief is based on Gratiolet's statement (see Topinard, 1890; Frederic, 1906; Martin, 1928; Fenner, 1939; and others) that in 'lower' skulls the sutures are simple and commence to fuse from in front, while in 'higher' skulls the sutures are more complicated and tend to fuse from behind. This view was disproved by Ribbe (quoted from Frederic, 1906), who substituted the generalization that in dolicocephals synostosis begins in the coronal suture, and in brachycephals in the lambdoid suture. In addition to its purely anthropological interest the subject raises important biological considerations of brain-skull relationship, different foetalization in different ethnological groups (see Bolk, 1926; Weidenreich, 1941; Abbie, 1947), and so on. A survey of the literature reveals very little in the way of data on the age incidence of suture closure. The only substantial contribution accessible here comes from Todd & Lyon (1924) for Europeans, but their work is marred by arbitrary rejection of awkward material.

  • CT of Perineural Tumor Extension: Pterygopalatine Fossa
    731 CT of Perineural Tumor Extension: Pterygopalatine Fossa Hugh D. Curtin1.2 Tumors of the oral cavity and paranasal sinuses can spread along nerves to areas Richard Williams 1 apparently removed from the primary tumor. In tumors of the palate, sinuses, and face, Jonas Johnson3 this "perineural" spread usually involves the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve. The pterygopalatine fossa is a pathway of the maxillary nerve and becomes a key landmark in the detection of neural metastasis by computed tomogaphy (CT). Oblitera­ tion of the fat in the fossa suggests pathology. Case material illustrating neural extension is presented and the CT findings are described. Perineural extension is possibly the most insidious form of tumor spread of head and neck malignancy. After invading a nerve, tumor follows the sheath to reach the deeper connections of the nerve, escaping the area of a planned resection. Thus, detection of this form of extension is important in treatment planning and estimation of prognosis. The pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) is a key crossroad in extension along cranial nerve V. The second branch of the trigeminal nerve passes from the gasserian ganglion through the foramen rotundum into the PPF. Here the nerve branches send communications to the palate, sinus, nasal cavity, and face. Tumor can follow any of these routes proximally into the PPF and eventually to the gasserian ganglion in the middle cranial fossa. The PPF contains enough fat to be an ideal subject for computed tomographic (CT) evaluation. Obliteration of this fat is an important indicator of pathology, including perineural tumor spread. Other signs of perineural extension include enlargement of foramina, increased enhancement in the region of Meckel cave (gasserian ganglion), and atrophy of the muscles innervated by the trigeminal nerve.

  • A Study on Sutural Morphology and Anatomical Position of Pterion
    A STUDY ON SUTURAL MORPHOLOGY AND ANATOMICAL POSITION OF PTERION Varsha Shenoy, P. Saraswathi, T. Siva, D. Jagadeesh ijcrr Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Saveetha Vol 04 issue 09 University, Saveetha Nagar, Thandalam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu Category: Research Received on:21/03/12 Revised on:29/03/12 E-mail of Corresponding Author: [email protected] Accepted on:06/04/12 ABSTRACT Objective: Pterion is an interesting bony landmark on the lateral aspect of the skull. It is ‗H‘ shaped sutural confluence formed by the articulation of four bones: frontal, parietal, greater wing of sphenoid and squamous part of temporal bone. Pterional approach is most widely used in neurosurgery for a variety of lesions in the anterior and middle cranial fossae. Since previous studies have reported the racial difference in the pterional morphology, in the present study it was aimed to study the sutural morphology of pteria and also to locate it with respect to the frontozygomatic suture. Methods: Seventy five (50 male and 25 female) skulls were studied on both the sides to evaluate the sutural pattern of pteria. The distance between center of the pterion to frontozygomatic suture was measured on both the sides. Results and Conclusion: According to the present study Sphenoparietal pterion was the commonest (77.33%) finding and was followed in frequency by Epipteric type (21.33%) and Stellate type (1.33%). Frontotemporal pterion was not observed. Average distance between the center of pterion and frontozygomatic suture was found to be 2.95 cm. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Pterion, Frontozygomatic suture, neuro-vascular disorders located in the anterior Burr-hole surgery, sutural bone, fontanelle, and middle cranial fossae.

JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES Morphometric Study of different types of Pterion and It’s relation with middle meningeal artery in dry skulls of Tamil Nadu * A.Mary Antony Praba¹, C.Venkatramaniah². ¹Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Tagore Medical College, Chennai, India. ²Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences, Pondy, India. Abstract: Pterion is a region in the anterior part of the floor of the temporal fossa where the greater wing of the sphenoid, the parietal, frontal and the squamous temporal bones meet and form a H shaped suture. Alternatively it is the meeting region of these 4 bones(1,2). It is an commonly used landmark to find the place of anterior division of middle meningeal artery inside. There are four different types of pterions they are the spenoparietal, frontotemporal, stellate and the epipteric varieties(3,2,4). Because the anatomical variation is been so much cared by the forensic anthropologists, neurosurgeons and the forensic pathologists, we find it necessary to study the occurrence of different types of pterion in the skulls of Tamil Nadu regions. So as to full fill the criteria the different types of pterion and it’s occurrence in relation with the middle meningeal artery is been studied. The most occurring type of pterion among tamil nadu skulls are found to be the spenoparietal variety and the frontotemporal the least.
