Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

2.2K
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

2.2K
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

6.8K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Genetics
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Skull base tumors present significant management challenges due to their intricate location and potential for treatment-related morbidity.
    • These tumors are diverse, originating from various skull base structures including bone, cranial nerves, meninges, and glandular tissues.

    Approach:

    • This article reviews the presenting features, molecular characteristics, diagnosis, and management of selected skull base tumors.
    • Treatment strategies involve a multidisciplinary approach, often combining surgical resection, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies.
    • Recent updates include the 2022 World Health Organization classification for pituitary neuroendocrine tumors.

    Key Points:

    • Enhanced understanding of genetic drivers is revealing targetable alterations in skull base tumors.
    • Ongoing clinical trials aim to develop less invasive and morbid treatment options.
    • Molecular insights are paving the way for expanded pharmacologic therapies.

    Conclusions:

    • Skull base tumors require a comprehensive, multidisciplinary management strategy.
    • Advances in molecular biology and genetics are crucial for developing novel therapeutic approaches.
