Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types01:20

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types

2.8K
Hair growth begins with the production of keratinocytes by the basal cells of the hair bulb. As new cells are deposited at the hair bulb, the hair shaft is pushed through the follicle toward the surface. Keratinization is completed as the cells are pushed to the skin surface to form the shaft of hair that is externally visible. The external hair is completely dead and composed entirely of keratin. Hair can be cut or shaven without damaging the hair structure because the cut is superficial. Most...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

13.7K
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...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

7.6K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Locating the temporal hairline for pediatric endoscopic surgery is crucial. A reliable method uses facial landmarks to guide incisions, ensuring well-hidden scars in infants undergoing brow dermoid tumor removal.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Brow dermoid tumors are common benign pediatric neoplasms.
  • Endoscopic resection necessitates precise temporal hairline incisions, which are challenging to locate in infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the precise location of the temporal hairline relative to facial landmarks in both adult and pediatric populations.
  • To establish a reliable method for guiding surgical incisions in pediatric patients.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study analyzed digital photographs of 116 adult and pediatric patients undergoing facial surgery.
  • Measurements were taken from facial landmarks (tragus, lateral canthus, earlobe) to the temporal hairline, normalized to corneal diameter.

Main Results:

  • The temporal hairline was consistently located within 30 mm of a reference line (Line A) drawn from the earlobe to the midpoint of the tragus-lateral canthus line.
  • Average distance from Line A to the hairline was 25.0 mm in adults and 21.8 mm in pediatric patients.
  • Hairline position showed no correlation with age or sex.

Conclusions:

  • A reliable method for locating the temporal hairline using facial landmarks was established.
  • Incisions for pediatric endoscopic surgery can be safely placed 30 mm or more posterior to the defined reference line for optimal scar concealment.
