A detailed study of the human blink reflex in the different parts of the orbicularis oculi muscle has been carried out. The first component of the blink reflex has been demonstrated in patients with Friedreich's ataxia, who have selective loss of large sensory fibres resulting in loss of proprioceptive input. It has been established that both components of the blink reflex are cutaneous reflexe...

A crossed short latency component (R1) of the human blink reflex could be elicited in orbicularis oculi muscles to stimulation of the contralateral supraorbital nerve, when infraliminal conditioning stimuli were applied to various cutaneous afferents of the body (facial, upper and lower limbs). The crossed R1 responses appeared when the time interval between the conditioning and the test stimul...

Evidence supports a clear racial variation in the position of the infraorbital foramen. Therefore detailed knowledge of the population specific data on biometric features of the infraorbital foramen will facilitate therapeutic, diagnostic and surgical manipulations in the maxillo-facial region. The goal of this study was to elucidate the morphological features and precise anatomical position of...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study is undertaken to determine if the presence or absence of multiseptated frontal sinuses is associated with the presence or absence of supraorbital ethmoid cells (SOECs). STUDY DESIGN Analysis of prospectively collected data. METHODS Sixty consecutive patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were identified from a prospectively collected database at a tertiary-ref...

The aim of this study was to the anatomical landmarks and variations supraorbital, infraorbital, mental foramina. One hundred sixty Thai dry skulls were randomly selected from Forensic Osteology Research Center. distances parameters measured by using Vernier caliper. supraorbital foramen could be found in a notch form 13.8 %, single accounted for 82.5 with an accessory represented 3.8 %. Single...

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a chronic vasculitis involving medium and large sized arteries. A 73-year-old male presented with right eye visual loss and jaw claudication associated with photosensitivity, supraorbital and retrobulbar pain. Evaluation demonstrated bitemporal tenderness, elevated ESR, CRP, leukocytosis and positive PANCA. Stranding and abnormal enhancement of right retrobulbar fa...

The most important target of minimally invasive surgery is to obtain the best therapeutic effect with the least iatrogenic injury. In this background, a pivotal role in contemporary neurosurgery is played by the supraorbital key-hole approach proposed by Perneczky for anterior cranial base surgery. In this article, it is presented as a possible valid alternative to the traditional craniotomies ...

BACKGROUND Aneurysms of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) are rare and often associated with anterior circulation aneurysms. The lateral supraorbital approach allows for a very fast and safe approach to the ipsilateral lesions Circle of Willis. A technical note on the successful clip occlusion of two aneurysms in the anterior and posterior Circle of Willis via this less invasive approach has ...
