Abstract:
The forehead is the protective helmet of the brain, if we refer to the etymology of the word calvaria. Destroyed, it must be rebuilt; priority is given to its bone infrastructure, even though we can live without it, as long as the other tissues (skin, muscle, aponeurosis, meninge) are intact. Complex surgical project which will be mentioned when the multiplicity of techniques described demonstrates their imperfection and until now the best restoration of a missing tissue requires its replacement by the same tissue. Invitation to invent a true regenerative surgery.

01:22Sutures of the Skull
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...
01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
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,...
