Neurulation01:30

Neurulation

44.8K
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

4.7K
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,...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.2K
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...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

9.8K
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...

Summary

A large dermoid cyst caused plagiocephaly in an adult from Kiribati. Surgical excision effectively managed the condition and prevented further deformity.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Dermoid cysts are congenital tumors that can occur along the skull.
  • Plagiocephaly, a skull deformity, can result from underlying space-occupying lesions like dermoid cysts.

Observation:

  • An adult case from Kiribati presented with a large dermoid cyst.
  • The cyst led to significant underlying plagiocephaly.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the dermoid cyst was successfully performed.
  • The surgical intervention effectively corrected the plagiocephaly and prevented further deformity.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and surgical management of dermoid cysts causing skull deformities.
  • Optimal surgical timing is crucial to avoid long-term cosmetic and functional deficits associated with plagiocephaly.
