The maxillary sinus appeared first among the sinuses of the skull at 92 days of prenatal stage. The early formation of frontal sinus was observed at 157 days in the cranial most part of the frontal bone while the early formation of palatine sinus was observed at 170 days. A total of five fontanelles were observed in prenatal skulls of buffalo. The largest and unpaired fontanelle was anterior fontanelle. The mastoid and sphenoidal fontanelle were paired. The ossification of anterior fontanelle was first observed at 164 days. All the fontanelles were ossified completely prenatally.

Cleidocranial dysplasia is a rare and autosomal dominent disorder characterized by aplasia or hypoplasia of the clavicles, an open fontanelle, dental abnormalities, and short stature, A 17-year-old female who presented with short stature and subsequent delay in eruption of permanent teeth is described. she showed the abnormal hypermobility of the shoulder, ocular hypertelorism and concave nasal bridge. Radiographs revealed the underdeveloped maxilla, defect of the cranium in the fontanelle region, and aplasia of the clavicles. Characteristically, panoramic view revealed near parallel-sided borders of the ascending ramus and downward curvature of the zygomatic arch with hypoplasia. The prolonged retention of deciduous teeth with delayed eruption of permanent teeth and multiple embedded supernumerary teeth were striking. Radiographic and clinical investigations revealed Cleidocranial dysplasia.

This case report describes a patient who had a foreign body in transverse sinus. A 35-year-old Korean-Chinese man visited the emergency room with lacerated wound in left eyelid and a foreign body which was stumbled upon in the skull. On examination, there was right side hemianopsia in his left eye, He did not complain any headache or show any abnormal neurological signs, but there was a foreign body at left transverse sinus in computed tomography which was taken at another hospital. There was no intracranial abnormality except the foreign body in computed tomography. Because of the financial problem, additional evaluations were not possible. We herein report a strange case in which the pathway of a foreign body to locate in transverse sinus was ambiguous, and suggest that the foreign body located in transverse sinus might have been the penetrated along the anterior fontanelle and passed through the superior sagittal sinus.

A 3-month-old male Maltese dog was presented with generalized trembling, ataxia, and seizure.The patient had traumatic injury on history takings. Physical examination revealed dome shaped craniumwith open fontanelle, nasal hemorrhage, and blepharoedema with hemorhage on the left side. On serumbiochemical profiles, creatine phosphokinase was severely elevated. There was no remarkable findingon radiography. Ultrasound images of brain were obtained via a persistence bregmatic fontanelle, andbilateraly dilated lateral ventricles with a hyperechoic mass on the left temporal lobe were detected.Based on clinical signs, history, physical examination, laboratory findings, and ultrasonographic findings,we suspected this intracranial mass to intracerebral hematoma induced by head trauma. Methylprednisoloneh after initial diagnosis. We performed necropsy and confirmed intracerebral hematoma. This case reportdescribes the identification of intracerebral hematoma using ultrasonography.

Purpose: Cleidocranial dysostosis is a rare hereditary disorder affecting bones that develop by intramembranous formation. The typical features include excessive growth of transverse diameter of the skull, hypoplastic clavicles, low height and characteristic facial features. Methods: A 28 years old female patient visited by frontal area depression. The diagnosis was performed by computed tomographic study and radiographic imaging. The patient has widely opened anterior fontanelle, partial fused metopic suture, multiple wormian bone and supernumenary impacted teeth. Under the coronal incision, we exposed depressed frontal area and corrected with Medpor block carving. Results: Postoperatively, frontoparietal skull was aestheticlly improved and she was satisfied with the results. Conclusion: Authors report a case of cleiodocranial dysostosis who has been done correction of abnormal skull shape by Medpor$^{(R)}$ insertion.

We report two cases of cleidocranial dysplasia, which was managed without significant craniofacial osteotomy. A mother and daughter, both of normal intelligence, presented with central forehead depression, mid-face hypoplasia, and blepharoptosis. The fact that they have an identically deformed face implied a genetic basis. In both patients, radiologic evaluation revealed the underdeveloped maxilla, persistent fontanelle opening, and cleidal aplasia. Clinical findings and radiologic studies were consistent with the diagnosis of cleidocranial dysplasia. Both patients underwent forehead plasty via bicoronal approach, augmentation rhinoplasty using tip plasty, and epicanthoplasty. In addition, the mother underwent malar augmentation using Medpor implantation and reduction genioplasty. The patients did not experience any postoperative complication and remained satisfied with the operation at 6-year follow-up.

Pyknodysostosis(PKND)는 파골세포의 기능 이상으로 인해 발생하는 상염색체 열성의 매우 드문 경화성 골질환으로 Toulouse-Lautrec syndrome으로 불리기도 한다. PKND의 원인으로는 파골세포 내 cathepsin K의 결핍으로 인해 파골세포의 골개조와 골흡수 기능의 실패가 생기게 되어 연골의 축적과 과도한 골의 광화가 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있는데, 이로 인해 골수염의 위험이 높고 빈번한 골의 파절이 나타난다. 150 cm 이하의 작은 신장, 개방된 천문과 두개골 봉합의 실패, 곤 봉형의 손가락과 중안모의 발달이 저하된 특징적인 안모를 보인다. 본 증례는 전반적인 총생과 전치부 개방교합을 주소로 본과에 내원한 7세 1개월의 여아로, 정형외과에서 PKND로 진단받은 상태였다. 임상 및 방사전 사진 검사상 천문과 두개골 봉합 폐쾌의 실패, 곤봉모양의 손가락, 구개의 고랑,짧은사지와 작은 신장 등의 PKND의 전형적인 임상적 특성을 나타내고 있었다. 비정상적인 골흡수와 골재생기능의 문제로 주소인 총생과 개방교합에 대한 교정적 처치는 시행하지 못했다. 탈락 시기의 유치 발거와 불소도포를 시행한 후 정기 검진을 시행 중인 상태로 PKND에 대한 문헌고찰과 함께 본 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

55명의 미숙아를 대상으로 이중 도플러 초음파 검사를 실시하여 대천문을 통한 전 뇌동맥의 혈류속도 및 혈류형태를 조사하였다. 미숙아에서 뇌 혈류속도 및 pulsatility index는 재태기간, 출생 체중, 및 미숙아의 나이 등의 증가에 따라 비례하여 증가하였으나 resistive index는 감소하였다. 뇌실 출혈이 있는 환아 군에서는 특징적인 resistive index의 증가가 보였지만 혈류속도 및 plusatility index는 불규칙하였다. 정상 미숙아의 뇌혈류 관찰 및 환아 군에서의 뇌혈류 검사에서 이중 도플러 초음파 검사는 비침습적이고 재현성도 뛰어나 선별검사로 유용한 방법이라고 생각한다.

Hydrocepbalus may be an acquired or a congenital condition. We have studied the macroscopic and microscopic changes in the hydrocephalus of an inbred Sprague-Dawley rat at postnatal week 8. The animal suspected with the hydrocephalus showed clinical syndromes such as depression, severe ataxia, eye abnormalities, dome-shaped head, and persistent fontanelle. With the postmortem examination, the suspected animal was clearly revealed as a severe internal hydrocephalus. In this animal, severe ventriculomegaly was limited to the third and lateral ventricles, and cortical thining was most apparent in the parieto-occipital region. With the routine histological examination, brain tissue showed aqueductal obstruction, thinning of the cerebral cortex, severe ependymal damage, subependymal edema, damage of choroid plexus of fourth ventricle, enlarged cortical vessels, and expanded ventricles. Aqueductal obstruction was observed with the appearance of simple stenosis at the level of rostral colliculus. Subsequently, the other structures of brain such as septal nucleus, caudate nucleus, and hippocampus etc. were abnormally reconstructed by hydrocephalus. This study suggests that the hydrocephalus can be taken place by primary aqueductal obstruction and this type of hydrocephalus is classified as uncommunicating type. Though the mechanism of aqueductal obstruction is not clear, the morphological studies of this case may be helpful for the further study of hydrocephalus.

쇄골두개 이형성증은 골격과 치아 이상을 동반하는 선천성 질환으로서 다수의 조직과 장기에 직접적인 영향을 주는 중배엽성 기능장애이다. 쇄골두개 이형성증에서 일반적인 골격 결함은 두개 봉합과 천문의 지연 폐쇄, wormian bone, clavicle aplasia가 나타날 수 있다. 또한 장골, 지골, 척추, 골반 등의 전체 골격 뿐 아니라 근육, 중앙 신경계 등에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 구강내 특징으로 유치의 만기잔존, 다수의 과잉치, 미맹출된 영구치, 낭 형성 등이 나타난다. 그러나 쇄골두개 이형성증 환아의 경우 정신적 및 신체적으로 특별한 이상을 나타내지 않아 스스로 질환을 인식하지 못하는 경우가 많으며 이의 결과유치 탈락 후 영구치의 미맹출로 인하여 저작 및 심리적인 문제가 초래되는 경우가 많다. 따라서 쇄골두개 이형성증은 조기진단이 필요하며, 적절한 시기에 과잉치 제거 및 영구치 맹출을 유도하는 치료를 시행하여 저작기능의 회복 뿐 아니라 환자의 안모도 개선시킬 수 있어야 한다.
