Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

6.7K
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: 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...

Psychosurgery01:30

Psychosurgery

54
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Neurological Oncology

Background:

  • Cranial neurosurgery has undergone significant advancements in the last two decades.
  • Novel techniques have revolutionized the management of various intracranial pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the recent advances in the treatment of intracranial pathologies.
  • To highlight how neurosurgeons at the University of Missouri-Columbia (UMC) are optimizing these treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of minimally invasive techniques including neuro-endoscopy, skull base approaches, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and laser interstitial thermal therapy.
  • Discussion of advanced tools such as navigated instruments and tubular retractors.
  • Evaluation of stereotactic radiosurgery as a treatment option for medically unstable patients.

Main Results:

  • Minimally invasive techniques lead to smaller incisions, decreased blood loss, shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, and improved cosmetic outcomes.
  • Neuro-endoscopy enhances visualization and precision for deep-seated lesions.
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery offers a safe and effective alternative for specific patient groups.

Conclusions:

  • Advancements in cranial neurosurgery have significantly improved patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes.
  • The integration of sophisticated technologies allows for precise targeting of intracranial pathologies with minimal disruption.
  • UMC neurosurgeons are actively optimizing these advanced treatments for patient benefit.
