Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial 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...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
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,...

Nose and Nasal Cavity

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Area of Science:

Pediatric Radiology
Craniofacial Surgery
Developmental Biology

Background:

Congenital midline nasal masses are rare developmental anomalies.
These include nasal dermoids/epidermoids, glial heterotopias, and encephaloceles.
Lesions may present at the nasal bridge with potential intracranial extension.

Purpose of the Study:

To emphasize the critical importance of accurate diagnosis for congenital midline nasal masses.
To highlight the role of neuroimaging in presurgical planning.
To prevent potentially fatal complications associated with these lesions.

Main Methods:

Review of neuroimaging techniques for evaluating congenital midline nasal masses.
Correlation of imaging findings with histopathological diagnoses.
Analysis of surgical outcomes based on presurgical imaging.

Main Results:

Neuroimaging effectively differentiates various types of midline nasal masses.
Intracranial extension and subarachnoid space communication are accurately identified.
Presurgical imaging guides surgical approach and minimizes risks.

Conclusions:

Accurate diagnosis of congenital midline nasal masses via neuroimaging is essential.
Comprehensive evaluation prevents surgical complications and ensures optimal patient outcomes.
Multidisciplinary approach involving radiology and surgery is recommended.
