A two-year-old Thoroughbred colt was presented to the Equine Clinic, Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital for head trauma after rearing and falling backwards, hitting his head on the ground. Following medical therapy for acute onset neurological impairment secondary to a suspected basilar skull fracture, the horse was anaesthetised and computed tomography of the skull was performed. A dia...

Fracture of the cranial bones following trauma is common. The fracture most commonly encountered in clinical practice is an undisplaced linear fracture of a skull bone or a depressed skull fracture. Compound elevated skull fracture, unlike depressed skull fracture is an extremely rare variety of post-traumatic cranial injury, seldom seen in modern clinical practice. Authors report one such rare...

B ONE CHANGES similar to those occtirring in Cooley’s anemia and ohserved in chronic iron deficiency anemia were first described by Reimann in 1956.’ He noted striking alterations, particularly in the skull and also in short and long bones, due to erythroid hyperplasia of the bone marrow. According to Reimann, these changes were never so pronounced as in Cooley’s anemia. In 1958 Eng described b...

this study was conducted to investigate theallometric growth pattern and sexual dimorphism in the skull of both sexes ofiranian brown bear (ursus arctos) in thealborz mountains using geometric morphometric and traditional morphometric techniques. morphometric parameters were obtained from 2d pictures of skulls using the software imagej and allometric growth pattern was calculated as a power fun...

Skull base metastasis from differentiated thyroid carcinoma, including papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma, is a rare manifestation. Herein, we present three cases of skull base metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. The mean age of the patients was 68.6 (65-74) years, and the mean interval between initial diagnosis and skull base metastasis was 56.3 (28-89) months. Cranial nerve pal...

Evolutionary history of Mammalia provides strong evidence that the morphology of skull and brain change jointly in evolution. Formation and development of brain and skull co-occur and are dependent upon a series of morphogenetic and patterning processes driven by genes and their regulatory programs. Our current concept of skull and brain as separate tissues results in distinct analyses of these...

purpose: to report a case of cloverleaf skull syndrome with cleft palate. results: we report a 20-day-old boy with cloverleaf-shaped skull deformity, very constricted cranium and prominent temporal bones associated with severe proptosis, maked lid retraction, conjunctival chemosis, exposure keratitis, corneal opacity and cleft palate. ct-scan dislosed fusion of the coronal, sagittal and lambdoi...
