Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

9.1K
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,...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

14.8K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
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...

Overview of the Skull

9.5K
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

8.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Forehead flaps are a common technique for nasal reconstruction.
  • Tissue expansion is used to increase the size of forehead flaps.
  • Bone remodeling, erosion, and displacement are known effects of tissue expanders on cranial bones.

Observation:

  • A patient developed an unusual cranial bone deformity after undergoing forehead tissue expansion.
  • The deformity necessitated a surgical revision to correct the bone structure.

Findings:

  • This case presents a peculiar cranial bone deformity following forehead tissue expansion.
  • The observed deformity was significant enough to require corrective surgery.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for unexpected bone deformities with tissue expansion.
  • Suggests the need for careful monitoring and potential surgical intervention for bone complications.
  • Informs surgeons about rare but serious adverse effects in nasal reconstruction using expanded forehead flaps.
