cranial fossa

Most often associated with fractures of the anterior cranial fossa.

Lies in the anterior wall of the posterior cranial fossa.

About 60% will be in the posterior cranial fossa (particularly the cerebellum).

The Raeder's syndrome, a lesion of the middle cranial fossa, was named after him.

It is located in the anterior cranial fossa.

The posterior cranial fossa is formed in the endocranium, and holds the most basal parts of the brain.

The two roots (sensory and motor) exit the middle cranial fossa through the foramen ovale.

A combined craniofacial approach, including resection of the floor of the anterior cranial fossa is used with success in selected patients.

Cranial fossa can refer to:

The bone overlying the acoustic nerve is removed, allowing the tumour to expand upward into the middle cranial fossa.

Scattered reports exist of seizure disorder following middle cranial fossa surgery, presumably due to temporal lobe injury.

When extended middle cranial fossa approaches are employed, the superior petrosal sinus is deliberately divided between clips.

The tumor destroys the mastoid air spaces and extends into the middle ear and/or posterior cranial fossa.

Arachnoiditis of posterior cranial fossa (blindness, deafness, hemiplegia).

Middle cranial fossa (fossa cranii media )

Groove for Sigmoid Sinus is a groove in the posterior cranial fossa.

They also occur in the posterior cranial fossa, and near the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli.

Displacement of the condyle through the roof of glenoid fossa and into the middle cranial fossa is rare.

Cysts in the left middle cranial fossa have been associated with ADHD in a study on affected children.

Walter Dandy in 1925 was an advocate of partial sectioning of the nerve in the posterior cranial fossa.

The middle fossa, deeper than the anterior cranial fossa, is narrow medially and widens laterally to the sides of the skull.

The intermediate nerve reaches the posterior cranial fossa via the internal acoustic meatus before synapsing in the solitary nucleus.

Posterior cranial fossa (fossa cranii posterior )

The posterior cranial fossa is part of the intracranial cavity, located between the foramen magnum and tentorium cerebelli.

Although long-term facial nerve outcomes are as good with the middle cranial fossa approach as with other approaches, temporary postoperative paresis is more common.
