An examination of the Vértesszöllös occipital bone indicates the need for takings its condition and preservation as well as certain aspects of its morphology into account prior to a metric assessment of its features. This analysis confirms the presence of extrasutural bones on the lambdoidal suture as well as some distortion in the sagittal curvature of this region. The advisability of using th...

Objectives Use of a reliable method to determine the degree of skeletal development of the mid-palatal suture is important in the choice of treatment between orthopedic maxillary expansion and surgical expansion in adolescents and young adults. The aim of this study was to review the new methods for evaluation of mid-palatal suture maturation. Methods Electronic search was conducted in PubMed ...

This investigation examined the effects of pharmacologically induced precocious puberty on cranial growth in Wistar rats. Forty-eight female newborn Wistar rats were divided into two groups: a control group (C) and an experimental group (E), with four subgroups of six animals each. The time interval from birth until sacrifice differed between the subgroups, and was set at 30, 60, 90, and 120 da...

Sir, The clivus is one of the common sites for diverse pathological lesions. 1 Tuberculosis commonly involves the craniovertebral junction causing atlanto-axial dislocation. However, primary skull base tuberculoma is extremely rare. A case of primary spheno-clival tuberculoma without involvement of the craniovertebral junction is reported and the management is discussed. A 24-year-old, non-immu...

Lipomas of the central nervous system are not uncommon, approximately 80 cases having been reported. The most usual site is the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum, although they have frequently been found in the region of the tuber cinereum, the mamniillary bodies, and the midbrain. Lipomas of the spinal cord unassociated with spina bifida are much less common, only 12 cases having been reco...
