Abstract:
A congenital nasal septal defect involving vomeral bone is a rare nasal anomaly, and few reconstructed cases have been reported. Reconstruction of the nasal septum using the outer table of skull to allow the use of glasses was performed. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the tenth postoperative day. A transferred bone remains and shows no deviation to the right or left in the ninth postoperative month. The tubercle of the nasal part remains, and the patient is satisfied with the cosmetic result 9 months postoperatively. The timing of the operation and the surgical procedure are discussed.

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...

The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into ...
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,...
01:27Cranial 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...
