  • Direct Sagittal CT in the Evaluation of Temporal Bone Disease

    Direct Sagittal CT in the Evaluation of Temporal Bone Disease

    371 Direct Sagittal CT in the Evaluation of Temporal Bone Disease 1 Mahmood F. Mafee The human temporal bone is an extremely complex structure. Direct axial and coronal Arvind Kumar2 CT sections are quite satisfactory for imaging the anatomy of the temporal bone; Christina N. Tahmoressi1 however, many relationships of the normal and pathologic anatomic detail of the Barry C. Levin2 temporal bone are better seen with direct sagittal CT sections. The sagittal projection Charles F. James1 is of interest to surgeons, as it has the advantage of following the plane of surgical approach. This article describes the advantages of using direct sagittal sections for Robert Kriz 1 1 studying various diseases of the temporal bone. The CT sections were obtained with Vlastimil Capek the aid of a new headholder added to our GE CT 9800 scanner. The direct sagittal projection was found to be extremely useful for evaluating diseases involving the vertical segment of the facial nerve canal, vestibular aqueduct, tegmen tympani, sigmoid sinus plate, sinodural angle, carotid canal, jugular fossa, external auditory canal, middle ear cavity, infra- and supra labyrinthine air cells, and temporo­ mandibular joint. CT has contributed greatly to an understanding of the complex anatomy and spatial relationship of the minute structures of the hearing and balance organs, which are packed into a small pyramid-shaped petrous temporal bone [1 , 2]. In the past 6 years, high-resolution CT scanning has been rapidly replacing standard tomography and has proved to be the diagnostic imaging method of choice for studying the normal and pathologic details of the temporal bone [3-14].

Prof, Department of Dentistry, BLDE University’s,Shri. B. M. Patil Medical College Hospital and Research Centre,Bijapur – 586103, Karnataka State. 2. Assistant Professor of Anatomy, Gadag Institute of Medical Sciences, Mallasamudra, Mulgund Road, Gadag, Karnataka, India. Abstract Jugular foramen is a large aperture in the base of the skull. It is located behind the carotid canal and is formed by the petrous part of the temporal bone and behind by the occipital bone. The jugular foramen is the main route of venous outflow from the skull and is characterised by laterality based on the predominance of one of the sides. Sigmoid sinus continues as internal jugular vein in posterior part of jugular foramen. Ligation of the internal jugular is sometimes performed during radical neck dissection with the risk of venous infarction, which some adduce to be due to ligation of the dominant internal jugular vein. It is generally said that although the Jugular foramen is larger on the right side compared to the left, its size as well as its height and volume vary in different racial groups and sexes. The foramen’s complex shape, its formation by two bones, and the numerous nerves and venous channels that pass through it further compound its anatomy. The present study was undertaken in 263(526 sides) different medical and dental institutions in Karnataka, India. Out of 263 skulls in 61.21% of cases the right foramina were larger than the left, in 13.68% of cases the left foramina were larger than the right and in 25.09% cases were equal on both sides.

  • Study of Wormian Bones on Dry Human Skull and Its Sexual Dimorphism in the Region of Andhra Pradesh

    Study of Wormian Bones on Dry Human Skull and Its Sexual Dimorphism in the Region of Andhra Pradesh

    Original Research Article Study of Wormian Bones on Dry human skull and its sexual dimorphism in the region of Andhra Pradesh Shone Vasudeo Durge Assistant Professor, Dept. of Anatomy, Fathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Ramarajupalli, Andhra Pradesh Corresponding Author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study was aimed at identifying the wormian bone and their overall incidence in respect to their number and location in the region of Andhra Pradesh. Overall incidence of wormian bones was more in female (47.72%) than in male skulls (41.66%). They occurred more frequently at lambdoid suture (38%). Wormian bones along the coronal suture, Bregma and Asterion were seen only in male skulls, while intra-orbital wormian bones and wormian bones at Pterion were seen only in female skulls. This study concludes by stating that, there exists a moderate degree of sexual dimorphism among the wormian bones with respect to overall incidence, number and location. Keywords- Skull, Sexual dimorphism, Wormian bones, Lambda, Asterion. Background knowledge of WBs is important in the diagnosis of Wormian bones, also known as intra-sutural bones, these disorders (Cremin, Goodman, Spranger et al., are extra bone pieces that occur within a suture in the 1982). It was reported that their incidence is well suited cranium. These are irregular isolated bones that appear for comparative studies as an anthropological marker or in addition to the usual centers of ossification of the an indicator of population distance (Gumusburun, cranium and, although unusual, are not rare. They occur Sevim, Katkici et al., 1997). Their knowledge is of most frequently in the course of the lambdoid suture, interest to the human anatomy, physical anthropology which is more tortuous than other sutures.

  • 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

    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.

    1A. Internal Auditory Meatus

    1a. Internal Auditory Meatus 1. The facial nerve leaves the posterior cranial fossa to enter the facial canal by way of the internal auditory meatus (black wire). The facial canal is within the petrous part of the temporal bone. 1b. Internal Auditory Meatus The facial nerve leaves the posterior cranial fossa to enter the facial canal by way of the internal auditory meatus (black wire). 2. Hiatus of the Canal and Groove for the Greater Superficial Petrosal Nerve The greater superficial petrosal nerve leaves the facial canal to enter the middle cranial fossa by way of the hiatus of the canal for the greater superficial petrosal nerve (black wire). 3. Pterygoid Canal at Anterior Lip of the Lacerate Foramen The greater superficial petrosal nerve is joined by the deep petrosal nerve to form the nerve of the pterygoid canal (black and red wire). This nerve leaves the middle cranial fossa to enter the pterygopalatine fossa by way of the pterygoid canal. The posterior opening of the pterygoid canal is at the anterior lip of the lacerate foramen. The greater superficial nerve and the deep petrosal nerve travel within the cavernous sinus. 4. Pterygopalatine Fossa Seen Through the Pterygomaxillary Fissure The anterior opening of the pterygoid canal is into the pterygopalatine fossa (black wire). The pterygopalatine fossa is located medial to the pterygomaxillary fissure and contains the pterygopalatine ganglion. 5. External Auditory Meatus The chorda tympani nerve leaves the facial canal and crosses the middle ear (black wire). It then leaves the middle ear to arrive in the infratemporal fossa by way of the petrotympanic fissure.

Another important function that the bones have is to store materials such as calcium, phosphorus and lipids. Additionally, blood cells are synthesized in the red bone marrow to be released into the bloodstream. Bones serve as levers for the muscular system, working with them to produce movement and maintain posture. The human body contains 2 major kinds of bone tissue: compact and spongy. Compact bone (dense bone) is found on the outer surface of bones and serves as a place to absorb most of the stress on the bones. Spongy bone (cancellous tissue) is found on the inside of the compact bone layer.

    1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES When studying the skeletal system, the bones are often sorted into two broad categories: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. This lab focuses on the axial skeleton, which consists of the bones that form the axis of the body. The axial skeleton includes bones in the skull, vertebrae, and thoracic cage, as well as the auditory ossicles and hyoid bone. In addition to learning about all the bones of the axial skeleton, it is also important to identify some significant bone markings. Bone markings can have many shapes, including holes, round or sharp projections, and shallow or deep valleys, among others. These markings on the bones serve many purposes, including forming attachments to other bones or muscles and allowing passage of a blood vessel or nerve. It is helpful to understand the meanings of some of the more common bone marking terms. Before we get started, look up the definitions of these common bone marking terms: Canal: Condyle: Facet: Fissure: Foramen: (see Module 10.18 Foramina of Skull) Fossa: Margin: Process: Throughout this exercise, you will notice bold terms. This is meant to focus your attention on these important words. Make sure you pay attention to any bold words and know how to explain their definitions and/or where they are located. Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the axial skeleton. As you explore these bones in Visible Body’s app, also locate the bones and bone markings on any available charts, models, or specimens. You may also find it helpful to palpate bones on yourself or make drawings of the bones with the bone markings labeled.

For this type of study, the trait should be genetically determined, vary in frequency between different populations and should not show age, sex and side dependency. The present study was conducted on hundred dry adult human skulls from Northern India. They were sexed and classified into groups of various non metrical traits. These traits were further studied for sexual and side dimorphism. None of the traits had shown statistically significant side dimorphism. Two of them (Parietal foramen and Exsutural mastoid foramen) however had shown statistically significant sexual dimorphism. Since the dimorphism is exhibited by very less number of traits, it can be postulated that these traits are predominantly under genetic control and can be effectively used for population studies. Keywords: double hypoglossal canal, epigenetic variants, non-metric cranial variants, supraorbital foramen, zygomaticofacial foramen. 1 Introduction 2 Material and methods Anthropological and paleoanthropological studies Hundred dry adult human skulls from Northern India, concerned with the epigenetic traits or non-metrical cranial having no deformity or fracture were examined.
