Summary
Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangioma (PICH) is a rare bone tumor. Complete surgical resection is the recommended treatment for PICH, as demonstrated in two presented cases.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Neurosurgery
- Pathology
Background:
- Primary intraosseous cavernous hemangioma (PICH) is an exceptionally rare tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all bone tumors.
- PICH predominantly affects the skull in 20% of cases.
Observation:
- Two cases of PICH presented with proptosis, oculomotor disorders, and chronic daily headaches.
- Clinical manifestations indicate significant impact on ocular and neurological function.
Findings:
- Complete surgical removal (gross total resection) is the optimal treatment strategy for PICH.
- Both presented cases achieved complete tumor resection, indicating successful surgical management.
Implications:
- Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing PICH.
- Effective surgical techniques can lead to favorable outcomes for patients with PICH.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
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...

01:26Arteries of the Head and Neck
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

01:19Veins of Head and Neck
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...
