Abstract:
Osteoma, the most frequent tumor of the paranasal sinuses (PNS), is often asymptomatic. Men are more commonly affected than women. A 52-year-old patient complained of increasing incidence of headaches following the resolution of frontal sinusitis. Computer tomography demonstrated a pedunculated osteoma of the frontal sinus. Histomorphologically, PNS osteomas usually show cortical bone differentiation with sparse medullary space and a lamellar configuration. At 6 months following surgical resection, the patient was still symptom-free.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
