Incidence of basioccipital hypoplasia in Chiari malformation type I: comparative morphometric study of the posterior cranial fossa. Clinical article.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: The chronic tonsillar herniation defining Chiari malformation Type I (CMI) is thought to result from overcrowding of a normally developing hindbrain within a congenitally small posterior cranial fossa (PCF) due to occipital hypoplasia. The ... Read more...

Modified orbitozygomatic craniotomy for craniopharyngioma resection in children.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: In this study, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of modified orbitozygomatic craniotomy for resection of craniopharyngioma in children. METHODS: A prospective, institutional review board-approved database was retrospectively ... Read more...

Inferior turbinate pedicle flap for endoscopic skull base defect repair.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Endoscopic skull base reconstruction (ESBR) is an important advance in the management of skull base defects. Large dural defects usually require the use of pedicled mucosal flaps for successful repair and prevention of cerebral spinal ... Read more...
