Space-occupying lesions in this area can result in clinical d- eficits caused by compression of the optic nerve or extraocular muscles. Even vas c u l a r changes in the cavernous sinus can produce a direct mass effect and affect the orbit ap e x. When pathologic changes in this region is suspected, contrast-enhanced MR imaging with fat saturation is very useful. According to the anatomic regions from which the lesions arise, they can be classi- fied as belonging to one of five groups; lesions of the optic nerve-sheath complex, of the conal and intraconal spaces, of the extraconal space and bony orbit, of the cav- ernous sinus or diffuse.

  • The Morphometric Study of Occurrence and Variations of Foramen Ovale S
    Research Article The morphometric study of occurrence and variations of foramen ovale S. Ajrish George*, M. S. Thenmozhi ABSTRACT Background: Foramen vale is one of the important foramina present in the sphenoid bone. Anatomically it is located in the greater wing of the sphenoid bone. The foramen ovale is situated posterolateral to the foramen rotundum and anteromedial to the foramen spinosum. The foramen spinosum is present posterior to the foramen ovale. The carotid canal is present posterior and medial to the foramen spinosum and the foramen rotundum is present anterior to the foramen ovale. The structures which pass through the foramen ovale are the mandibular nerve, emissary vein, accessory middle meningeal artery, and lesser petrosal nerve. The sphenoid bone has a body, a pair of greater wing, pair of lesser wing, pair of lateral pterygoid plate, and a pair of medial pterygoid plate. Aim: The study involves the assessment of any additional features in foramen ovale in dry South Indian skulls. Materials and Methods: This study involves examination of dry adult skulls. First, the foramen ovale is located, and then it is carefully examined for presence of alterations and additional features, and is recorded following computing the data and analyzing it. Results: The maximum length of foramen ovale on the right and left was 10.1 mm, 4.3 mm, respectively. The minimum length of the foramen in right and left was 9.1 mm, 3.2 mm, respectively. The maximum width of foramen ovale on the right and left was 4.8 mm and 2.3 mm, respectively. The minimum width of the foramen in the right and the left side was 5.7 mm and 2.9 mm, respectively.

    Name: Wokoma Olobo Benebo Department: Medical Laboratory Science Course: ANA 208 Matric Number: 18/MHS06/055 Assignment 1. Discuss the differences between viscerocranium and neurocranium The neurocranium forms the cranial cavity that surrounds and protects the brain and brainstem. The neurocranium is formed from the occipital bone, two temporal bones, two parietal bones, the sphenoid, ethmoid and frontal bones; they are all joined together with sutures. The viscerocranium bones form the anterior and lower regions of the skull and include the mandible, which attaches through the only truly motile joint found in the skull. The facial skeleton contains the vomer, two nasal conchae, two nasal bones, two maxilla, the mandible, two palatine bones, two zygomatic bones, and two lacrimal bones. 2.

  • A New Radiological Classification for the Risk Assessment of Anterior Skull
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A new radiological classifcation for the risk assessment of anterior skull base injury in endoscopic sinus surgery Baharudin Abdullah 1*, Shiun Chuen Chew1, Mohd Ezane Aziz2, Norasnieda Md Shukri1, Salina Husain3, Sng Weirong Joshua4, De Yun Wang4 & Kornkiat Snidvongs5 Keros and Gera classifcations are widely used to assess the risk of skull base injury during endoscopic sinus surgery. Although, both classifcations are useful preoperatively to stratify risk of patients going for surgery, it is not practical to measure the respective lengths during surgery. In this study, we aimed to propose a new radiological classifcation (Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore (TMS)) to assess the anatomical risk of anterior skull base injury using the orbital foor (OF) as a reference. A total of 150 computed tomography images of paranasal sinuses (300 sides) were reviewed. The TMS classifcation was categorized into 3 types by measuring OF to cribriform plate and OF to ethmoid roof. Most patients were classifed as TMS type 1, Keros type 2 and Gera class II, followed by patients classifed as TMS type 3, Keros type 1 and Gera class 1. TMS has signifcant correlation with Keros classifcation (p < 0.05). There was no signifcant correlation between Keros and Gera classifcations (p = 0.33) and between TMS and Gera classifcations (p = 0.80). The TMS classifcation has potential to be used for risk assessment of skull base injury among patients undergoing ESS. It serves as an additional assessment besides the Keros and Gera classifcations. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has an overall complication rate of 0.5% with the specifc complications of cere- brospinal fuid leak, orbital injury, haemorrhage requiring surgery, blood transfusion and toxic shock syndrome at 0.09%, 0.09%, 0.10%, 0.18%, and 0.02%, respectively1.
