Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

7.7K
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...

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification01:24

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification

10.5K
Bone formation, or ossification, begins around the sixth to seventh week of embryonic development. Most bones develop from a cartilaginous template through the process of endochondral ossification. Cartilage formation begins when clusters of mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes. These chondrocytes proliferate rapidly and secrete an extracellular matrix that becomes encased in a membrane called the perichondrium. The resulting cartilage model provides a template that resembles the...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

8.9K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Overview of the Skull

8.4K
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...

The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

5.8K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue01:27

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue

4.5K
Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Simple bone cysts (SBCs), rare in the mandibular condyle, are benign bone lesions. This case highlights successful treatment of a pediatric mandibular condyle SBC, showing good bone remodeling post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Pathology of Bone Lesions

Background:

  • Simple bone cysts (SBCs) are typically found in long bones of children.
  • Mandibular condyle involvement by SBCs is exceptionally rare.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for pediatric bone lesions.

Observation:

  • A 7-year-old female presented with progressive left mandibular condyle enlargement.
  • Imaging revealed a 2 cm x 3 cm lytic lesion in the mandibular condyle.
  • The lesion was surgically explored and curetted via an intraoral approach.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the lesion as a simple bone cyst (SBC).
  • The surgical procedure was uncomplicated.
  • Postoperative recovery demonstrated successful lesion removal and bone remodeling.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of SBC occurrence in the pediatric mandibular condyle.
  • Intraoral surgical management is a viable option for these rare lesions.
  • Long-term follow-up confirms favorable bone remodeling and functional recovery.
