The frontal bone is a useful aspect of the craniofacial skeleton to study in physical anthropology because it contains several characters considered to be important for both populationand species-level distinctions. These include forehead (frontal squama) inclination and supraorbital morphology. Because it lies at the interface between the anterior neurocranium and the upper face, it is also in...

Introduction: Pelvis is a part of the skeletal system. It pelvic ring composed sacral bone, coccygeal bone and two bones, right one left one. When walking, pelvis undergoes angular displacement in frontal, sagittal transverse planes. Material methods: The studies were conducted randomly selected kindergartens schools from urban rural environment Warmia Masuria region Pomerania among 1832 male 1...

Why a catheter can be correctly placed in the ventricle by inserting perpendicular to the frontal bone on the ventricular drainage? We performed a study on the accuracy of a path perpendicular to the skull surface into the anterior horn using computed tomography (CT), and a clinical study. Twenty patients were studied on CT images. Using the curved multi-planar reconstruction method, the curved...

Ossifying fibroma is a rare benign tumor of the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinus, and is easily misdiagnosed. In the present study, we report the clinical data in the case of a 46-year-old female patient, treated due to 5-day forehead swelling accompanied by dizziness. CT examination revealed dilation of the right frontal sinus, bone wall integration, dense masses in the cavity, multiple pu...

n the treatment of a mucocele that developed after an old frontal bone fracture, surgically established drainage of the frontal sinus and aesthetic reconstruction are essential. Reconstruction surgery is generally performed by using autologous tissues with abundant blood flow that provides resistance to infection. We treated a mucocele that occurred 23 years after the treatment of a frontal bon...

The skulls of Japanese wolf (Canis hodophilax) were osteometrically examined and compared with those of Akita-Inu. The skull total length was not statistically different between two species. However, significant differences were demonstrated between two species in some ratios concerning the frontal bone. CT examination was carried out in the Japanese wolf skull. The data indicated that the fron...

Orbital emphysema is usually caused by trauma and fracture of an orbital bone, allowing air to pass from the sinuses into the orbit. Orbital emphysema without any significant trauma is rare. We present a case of a 67-year-old-woman who complained of left exophthalmos without any history of trauma, sneezing, or sinus surgery. Computed tomography scanning showed left orbital emphysema protruding ...

There is a peculiarity in the articulation of the two parietal bones with the frontal bone at the top of the skull. The anterior border of the parietal bone is deeply serrated and is bevelled at the expense of the outer surface above and of the inner below. The border of the vertical portion of the frontal bone is thick, strongly serrated, bevelled at the expense of the internal table above, wh...
