Craniofacial venous malformations: magnetic resonance imaging features that predict treatment outcome.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Craniofacial venous malformations (VMs) are challenging lesions. Treatment is not routinely indicated unless the benefit and loss have been weighed properly. Therefore it is crucial to predict clinical outcome before treatment. This study ... Read more...

Effect of a syndromic diagnosis on mandibular size and sagittal position in Robin sequence.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Despite its pathogenic heterogeneity, it is often assumed that the small mandible in a neonate with Robin sequence will not grow normally. The purpose of this study was to determine mandibular length and position in patients with ... Read more...

Brief communication: "Pathological" deformation in the skull of LB1, the type specimen of Homo floresiensis.

30 Aug 2009 If the holotype of Homo floresiensis, LB1, suffered from a severe developmental pathology, this could undermine its status as the holotype of a new species. One of the proposed pathological indicators that still remains untested is asymmetric ... Read more...
