Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

5.0K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

13.4K
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...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

6.1K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

8.1K
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,...

Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature01:16

Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature

11.0K
The vertebral column or spine is a flexible column that supports the head, neck, and body and  allows for their movements. It also protects the spinal cord.
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

7.4K
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:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare condition characterized by scalp convolutions.
  • Facial involvement in CVG is exceptionally uncommon, with limited documented cases.

Observation:

  • A 61-year-old male presented with a distinctive, progressive thickening and folding of facial skin.
  • The patient's condition was diagnosed as primary essential progressive cutis verticis gyrata.

Findings:

  • This case highlights a rare variant of cutis verticis gyrata manifesting exclusively on the face.
  • The primary essential progressive form of facial CVG presents unique diagnostic and management challenges.

Implications:

  • Understanding rare presentations of CVG is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • Further research into the etiology and treatment of facial CVG is warranted.
