Overview of the Skull01:08

Overview of the Skull

5.0K
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...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

7.3K
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: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

2.6K
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 View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

2.4K
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...

Overview of the Axial Skeleton01:09

Overview of the Axial Skeleton

5.7K
The skeleton is subdivided into two major divisions—the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton forms the vertical, central axis of the body. It includes all of the bones of the head, neck, chest, and back. It protects the brain, spinal cord, heart, and lungs. It also serves as the attachment site for muscles that move the head, neck, and back and for muscles that act across the shoulder and hip joints to move their corresponding limbs.
The axial skeleton of the...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Outcomes Research

Background:

  • Increasing demand for detailed reporting of surgical outcomes and treatment justification from hospitals, payors, and patients.
  • Physicians must lead the definition of outcome assessment methodologies in surgery.
  • Skull base lesions present complex anatomical challenges and varied presentations, often being rare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a roadmap for establishing a skull base registry.
  • To outline the expected benefits of implementing such a registry.
  • To identify potential challenges in registry implementation and data collection.

Main Methods:

  • The paper outlines a strategic plan for creating a skull base registry.
  • It discusses the necessity of alternative scientific inquiry methods due to the rarity of skull base lesions.
  • Focuses on defining outcome assessment led by physicians.

Main Results:

  • A proposed roadmap for implementing a skull base registry is presented.
  • Anticipated benefits of the registry, such as improved outcome reporting and treatment justification, are discussed.
  • Potential challenges associated with registry implementation are identified.

Conclusions:

  • A skull base registry is crucial for standardized outcome assessment and evidence-based decision-making.
  • Physician leadership is essential for defining and implementing robust outcome measures.
  • Registries offer a viable solution for studying rare diseases when randomized trials are not feasible.
