Skull Fractures
Fractures of the skull which may result from penetrating or nonpenetrating head injuries or rarely BONE DISEASES (see also FRACTURES, SPONTANEOUS). Skull fractures may be classified by location (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE, BASILAR), radiographic appearance (e.g., linear), or based upon cranial integrity (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE, DEPRESSED).
Dura Mater
Craniofacial Dysostosis
Receptor, Fibroblast Growth Factor, Type 2
A fibroblast growth factor receptor that is found in two isoforms. One receptor isoform is found in the MESENCHYME and is activated by FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 2. A second isoform of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 is found mainly in EPITHELIAL CELLS and is activated by FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 7 and FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 10. Mutation of the gene for fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 can result in craniosynostotic syndromes (e.g., APERT SYNDROME; and CROUZON SYNDROME).
Hematoma, Epidural, Cranial
Accumulation of blood in the EPIDURAL SPACE between the SKULL and the DURA MATER, often as a result of bleeding from the MENINGEAL ARTERIES associated with a temporal or parietal bone fracture. Epidural hematoma tends to expand rapidly, compressing the dura and underlying brain. Clinical features may include HEADACHE; VOMITING; HEMIPARESIS; and impaired mental function.
Suture Anchors
Hematoma, Subdural
Accumulation of blood in the SUBDURAL SPACE between the DURA MATER and the arachnoidal layer of the MENINGES. This condition primarily occurs over the surface of a CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE, but may develop in the spinal canal (HEMATOMA, SUBDURAL, SPINAL). Subdural hematoma can be classified as the acute or the chronic form, with immediate or delayed symptom onset, respectively. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, severe HEADACHE, and deteriorating mental status.
Osteoblasts
Receptors, Fibroblast Growth Factor
Specific molecular sites or structures on cell membranes that react with FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTORS (both the basic and acidic forms), their analogs, or their antagonists to elicit or to inhibit the specific response of the cell to these factors. These receptors frequently possess tyrosine kinase activity.
Midpalatal suture of osteopetrotic (op/op) mice exhibits immature fusion. (1/206)
The midpalatal suture was observed histologically in both toothless osteopetrotic (op/op) and normal (control) mice. The normal mice had a mature sutural structure, which consists of a well-developed cartilage cell zone and palatal bone. In contrast, the thickness of the cartilage cell zone was substantially greater in the op/op mice than that in the controls. Moreover, the cartilage cells in the op/op mice were frequently found in the palatal bone as well as in the sutural space, exhibiting an imperfect fusion. It seems that immature fusion at the sutural interface in the op/op mice is related to a decrease in biting or masticatory force accompanied by the failure of tooth eruption in addition to an essential defect in osteoclast differentiation, which is a congenital symptom in op/op mice. (+info)Craniofacial sutures: morphology, growth, and in vivo masticatory strains. (2/206)
The growth and morphology of craniofacial sutures are thought to reflect their functional environment. However, little is known about in vivo sutural mechanics. The present study investigates the strains experienced by the internasal, nasofrontal, and anterior interfrontal sutures during masticatory activity in 4-6-month-old miniature swine (Sus scrofa). Measurements of the bony/fibrous arrangements and growth rates of these sutures were then examined in the context of their mechanical environment. Large tensile strains were measured in the interfrontal suture (1,036 microepsilon +/- 400 SD), whereas the posterior internasal suture was under moderate compression (-440 microepsilon +/- 238) and the nasofrontal suture experienced large compression (-1,583 microepsilon +/- 506). Sutural interdigitation was associated with compressive strain. The collagen fibers of the internasal and interfrontal sutures were clearly arranged to resist compression and tension, respectively, whereas those of the nasofrontal suture could not be readily characterized as either compression or tension resisting. The average linear rate of growth over a 1-week period at the nasofrontal suture (133.8 micrometer, +/- 50.9 S.D) was significantly greater than that of both the internasal and interfrontal sutures (39.2 micrometer +/- 11.4 and 65. 5 micrometer +/- 14.0, respectively). Histological observations suggest that the nasofrontal suture contains chondroid tissue, which may explain the unexpected combination of high compressive loading and rapid growth in this suture. (+info)Craniofacial skeletal abnormalities in anomalous calves with clefts of the face. (3/206)
Thirteen anomalous calves with clefts of the face were morphologically examined, and craniofacial skeletons were studied in detail. According to the type and site of the cleft, four groups could be distinguished: median cleft lip and jaw (CLJ); median cleft lip, jaw, and palate (CLJP); lateral CLJ; and cleft palate (CP), including unilateral and bilateral type. Craniofacial skeletal abnormalities were observed in several bones at the roof, wall, and floor of the nasal cavity and at the boundary portion between the nasal and cranial cavities. Fissure formation at the cranial sutures, partial absence of the nasal process of the incisive bone, and opening of the bony palate were characteristic changes in median CLJ and CLJP, lateral CLJ, and CP, respectively. Furthermore, various associated changes were recognized in the median and paramedian skeletal elements of the face and other organs. The morphological changes of craniofacial skeletons with various types of clefts of the face depended on the site and degree of the cleft formation and reflected developmental errors of the facial embryonic segments. These changes would suggest disorders of the correlated development of facial processes and of other fetal organs of the face. For these conditions, etiologically hereditary cases were negative. (+info)Expression patterns of Twist and Fgfr1, -2 and -3 in the developing mouse coronal suture suggest a key role for twist in suture initiation and biogenesis. (4/206)
Sutural growth depends on maintenance of a balance between proliferation of osteogenic stem cells and their differentiation to form new bone, so that the stem cell population is maintained until growth of the skull is complete. The identification of heterozygous mutations in FGFR1, -2 and -3 and TWIST as well as microdeletions of TWIST in human craniosynostosis syndromes has highlighted these genes as playing important roles in maintaining the suture as a growth centre. In contrast to Drosophila, a molecular relationship between human (or other vertebrate) TWIST and FGFR genes has not yet been established. TWIST mutations exert their effect via haploinsufficiency whereas FGFR mutations have a gain-of-function mechanism of action. To investigate the biological basis of FGFR signalling pathways in the developing calvarium we compared the expression patterns of Twist with those of Fgfr1, -2 and -3 in the fetal mouse coronal suture over the course of embryonic days 14-18, as the suture is initiated and matures. Our results show that: (1) Twist expression precedes that of Fgfr genes at the time of initiation of the coronal suture; (2) in contrast to Fgfr transcripts, which are localised within and around the developing bone domains, Twist is expressed by the midsutural mesenchyme cells. Twist expression domains show some overlap with those of Fgfr2, which is expressed in the most immature (proliferating) osteogenic tissue. (+info)Location of the glenoid fossa after a period of unilateral masticatory function in young rabbits. (5/206)
Changes in glenoid fossa position and skull morphology after a period of unilateral masticatory function were studied. The right-side maxillary and mandibular molars in twenty-seven 10-day-old rabbits were ground down under general anaesthesia. The procedure was repeated twice a week, until the rabbits were 50 days old. Fourteen rabbits were then killed and 13 left to grow to age 100 days. Nine 50-day-old and sixteen 100-day-old rabbits with unmodified occlusions served as controls. Three-dimensional measurements were made using a machine-vision technique and a video-imaging camera. The glenoid fossa position become more anterior in both groups of animals subjected to molar grinding as compared with controls (P < 0.01 in the 50-day-old group and P < 0.05 in 100-day-old group). In the 100-day-old group the right-side fossa was also in a more inferior position (P < 0.01). The glenoid fossa was more anteriorly located on the right than on the left side of individual animals in the group in which the right-side molars had been ground down (P < 0.001). (+info)Strain in the braincase and its sutures during function. (6/206)
The skull is distinguished from other parts of the skeleton by its composite construction. The sutures between bony elements provide for interstitial growth of the cranium, but at the same time they alter the transmission of stress and strain through the skull. Strain gages were bonded to the frontal and parietal bones of miniature pigs and across the interfrontal, interparietal and coronal sutures. Strains were recorded 1) during natural mastication in conjunction with electromyographic activity from the jaw muscles and 2) during stimulation of various cranial muscles in anesthetized animals. Vault sutures exhibited vastly higher strains than did the adjoining bones. Further, bone strain primarily reflected torsion of the braincase set up by asymmetrical muscle contraction; the tensile axis alternated between +45 degrees and -45 degrees depending on which diagonal masseter/temporalis pair was most active. However, suture strains were not related to overall torsion but instead were responses to local muscle actions. Only the coronal suture showed significant strain (tension) during jaw opening; this was caused by the contraction of neck muscles. All sutures showed strain during jaw closing, but polarity depended on the pattern of muscle usage. For example, masseter contraction tensed the coronal suture and the anterior part of the interfrontal suture, whereas the temporalis caused compression in these locations. Peak tensile strains were larger than peak compressive strains. Histology suggested that the skull is bent at the sutures, with the ectocranial surface tensed and the endocranial surface predominantly compressed. Collectively, these results indicate that skulls with patent sutures should be analyzed as complexes of independent parts rather than solid structures. (+info)Trigonocephaly in rabbits with familial interfrontal suture synostosis: the multiple effects of premature single-suture fusion. (7/206)
Previous studies from our laboratory have characterized the craniofacial morphology and growth patterns of an inbred strain of rabbits with autosomal dominant coronal suture synostosis. A number of rabbit perinates from this colony have been collected sporadically over a 5-year period with premature interfrontal suture synostosis. The present study describes the very early onset of craniofacial dysmorphology of these rabbits and compares them to similar-aged normal control rabbits. A total of 40 perinatal New Zealand White rabbits were used in the present study. Twenty-one comprised the sample with interfrontal suture synostosis and ranged in age from 27 to 38 days postconception (term = 31 days) with a mean age of 33.53 days (+/-2.84 days). Nineteen rabbits served as age-matched, normal controls (mean age = 33.05 days +/-2.79 days). Lateral and dorsoventral radiographs were collected from each rabbit. The radiographs were traced, computer digitized, and 12 craniofacial measurements, angles, and indices were obtained. Mean measures were compared using an unpaired Student's t-test. All synostosed rabbits were stillborn or died shortly after birth. Grossly, these rabbits exhibited extreme frontal bossing, trigonocephaly with sagittal keeling, and midfacial shortening. No somatic anomalies were noted. Radiographically, rabbits with interfrontal suture synostosis had significantly (P < 0.05) narrower bifrontal widths, shorter cranial vault lengths, kyphotic cranial base angles, and different cranial vault indices (shapes) compared to controls. Results reveal severe and early pathological and compensatory cranial vault changes associated with premature interfrontal suture synostosis in this rabbit model. The 100% mortality rate noted in this condition may be related to the inheritance of a lethal genetic mutation or to neural compression from reduced intracranial volume. Results are discussed in light of current pathogenic hypotheses for human infants with premature metopic suture synostosis. (+info)Compressive force promotes chondrogenic differentiation and hypertrophy in midpalatal suture cartilage in growing rats. (8/206)
Midpalatal suture cartilage (MSC) is secondary cartilage located between the bilateral maxillary bones and has been utilized in the analysis of the biomechanical characteristics of secondary cartilage. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of compressive force on the differentiation of cartilage in midpalatal suture cartilage in rats. Forces of various magnitudes were applied to the midpalatal suture cartilage in 4-week-old male Wistar rats for 1, 2, 4, 7, or 14 days, mediated through the bilateral 1st molars using orthodontic wires. The differentiation pathways in the MSC cells were examined by immunohistochemistry for the differentiation markers type I, type II and type X collagen, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chondroitin-4-sulfate, chondroitin-6-sulfate and keratan sulfate. Histologically and immunohistochemically, the midpalatal suture cartilage in control rats had the characteristic appearance of secondary cartilage. In the experimental groups, the center of the midpalatal suture cartilage that contained osteo-chondro progenitor cells seemed to become mature cartilage and its immuno-reaction to type II and X collagen and GAGs increased as the experiment progressed. This differentiation was dependent upon the magnitude and duration of the force applied to the midpalatal suture cartilage; i.e., cartilaginous differentiation progressed more rapidly as the applied force increased. The present results suggest that the differentiation of osteo-chondro progenitor cells into mature and hypertrophic chondrocytes in the precartilaginous cell layer is promoted by compressive force.

- Standard practice is to apply corrective cranial bandeau remodeling surgery in the first year of the inf. (researchgate.net)
- Sutures will be removed 5 to 7 days after surgery. (beautybecomesyou.com)
Origins1
- the sutures, muscle origins and fine cranial pitting is clearly visible. (ancientsculpturegallery.com)
Craniotomy1
- Aneurosurgeon would perform a craniotomy to repair premature closing of the cranial sutures in an infant suffering from? (studyqas.com)
Endocranial4
- The degree of suture closure was recorded for endocranial and ectocranial sides by our scoring system. (who.int)
- The sum of all endocranial suture scores, which were also defined as "Composite scores", were divided into 7 stages (designated as S0-S6). (who.int)
- Endocranial sutures start closing before ectocranial and endocranial closure is more related to age than another and no difference between sexes could be found. (who.int)
- The sum of endocranial suture scores (composite scores) are statistically proven to be most related to age without significant statistical difference between the two sexes. (who.int)
Anatomy3
- Cranial osteopathy is not different to osteopathy, it is the name given to a subtle and refined approach to osteopathy that follows all the principles of osteopathy, but that includes the anatomy and physiology of the head. (scco.ac)
- Cranial osteopaths use a highly trained sense of touch to feel subtle changes of tension and tissue quality in the living anatomy of the whole body, and to diagnose areas of strain or dysfunction. (scco.ac)
- In a cranial treatment, an osteopath is deeply connected to the inner world of living anatomy and physiology. (scco.ac)
Calvaria1
- [6] The upper areas of the cranial bones form the calvaria (skullcap). (wikipedia.org)
Facial4
- The skull consists of three parts, of different embryological origin-the neurocranium , the sutures, and the facial skeleton (also called the membraneous viscerocranium ). (wikipedia.org)
- The human skull is generally considered to consist of twenty-two bones -eight cranial bones and fourteen facial skeleton bones. (wikipedia.org)
- The joints of the cranial and facial bones are called sutures . (exploringnature.org)
- Common and important indications for radiography of the skull include nasal disease, dental disease, ear problems, cranial, facial or mandibular swelling, oral masses, exophthalmos and trauma. (vin.com)
Joints1
- The sutures are fairly rigid joints between bones of the neurocranium. (wikipedia.org)
Infancy1
- During infancy and childhood, the sutures are flexible. (medlineplus.gov)
Foramina1
- The anterior and posterior ethmoid foramina lie in the medial wall of the orbit along the frontoethmoidal suture line. (medscape.com)
Surrounds1
- The neurocranium (or braincase ) forms the protective cranial cavity that surrounds and houses the brain and brainstem . (wikipedia.org)
Human skull1
- The human skull fully develops two years after birth.The junctions of the skull bones are joined by structures called sutures . (wikipedia.org)
Abnormal skull1
- The premature closure of a single suture restricts the growth in some parts of the skull resulting in an abnormal skull shape. (ucihealth.org)
Commonly1
- Most commonly these are found in the course of the lambdoid suture . (wikipedia.org)
Infant1
- In an infant, the spaces where sutures intersect but don't completely touch is called the "soft spot", a membrane covered area also called a fontanelle (fontanel or fonticulus). (stlukes-stl.com)
Ectocranial2
- 0 is given when the suture is open , meaning there is no evidence of ectocranial closure . (allthingsaafs.com)
- Ectocranial Suture Closure: A Revised Method For The Determination Of Skeletal Age At Death Based On The Lateral-Anterior Sutures. (allthingsaafs.com)
Occurs2
- growth occurs along the cranial sutures perpendicularly to the long axis of the suture. (britannica.com)
- When a suture closes, a predictable abnormality of head shape occurs. (rchsd.org)
Open2
- Surgical procedures within the first two years of life minimize the deformities and decrease the possibility of such complications as mental retardation and blindness by allowing the sutures to remain in the open position until brain growth is complete. (britannica.com)
- The sutures should remain open as long as the brain continues to grow, enabling the skull to expand and properly accommodate the brain's growth. (rchsd.org)
Baby's1
- During childbirth, the flexibility of the sutures allows the bones to overlap so the baby's head can pass through the birth canal without pressing on and damaging their brain. (medlineplus.gov)
Anterior1
- The arteries mark the level of the cribriform plate and the relationship of the anterior cranial fossa to the orbits. (medscape.com)
Skull bones1
- The sutures gradually accumulate minerals and harden (this process is called ossification), firmly joining the skull bones together. (stlukes-stl.com)
Abnormalities1
- Apert syndrome ( acrocephalosyndactyly ) is a rare inherited disorder in which premature closure of the coronal suture is associated with fused digits, defects of the brain and face, and sometimes other abnormalities. (britannica.com)
Brain2
- Premature closure of many sutures impacts brain growth and development. (ucihealth.org)
- Sutures have a number of important functions, including provision of skull flexibility that allows changes in skull volume, thus accommodating brain growth in early life. (medscape.com)
Growth2
- however, they may have potentially opposing effects on cranial growth. (thejns.org)
- Once closed, the sutures have restricted growth potential. (medscape.com)
Head2
- After the head was emptied out, the eyelids were sutured shut. (seattletimes.com)
- The research has so far failed to uncover the cause of the head shrinkage, although the mechanism appears to be the absorption of tissue within cranial sutures. (cosmosmagazine.com)
Gradually1
- With every advance in scientific understanding of physiology, in particular the physiology of fascia, fluids and electromagnetics in the body, we are gradually validating the theory and palpatory experiences of cranial osteopaths. (scco.ac)
Early1
- If the coronal suture (side to side near the front) fuses early, the skull becomes short front to back but wide and high ( oxycephaly). (britannica.com)
