Fractures of the occipital condyle occur very rarely. Plain cervical spine films are not able to detect them. Tomography and CT scan of atlanto-occipital joint are, in these cases, very important. The Authors report a case of a young girl who had a head trauma associated to a fracture of the right occipital condyle. The value of CT and tomography are emphasized.
The posterior approach to cervical rizopathy is a widely acquired technique; however only recently it encountered more favorable consideration. After a brief review of the literature, the Authors present some details of surgical approach, discuss its value and its limits with a comment on their own series.
Craniobasal tumors affecting the middle cranial fossa are rarely treated radically; the main problem to solve is the presence of important nervous and vascular structures in this region. The Authors report a case of complete removal of a malignant tumor involving the temporal bone and the middle cranial fossa. Surgery was performed by the cooperation of the neurosurgical and the ENT teams.
Fibromyxoma of the jaw is a rare neoplasm that may have the radiologic pattern of an aggressive lytic process despite its benign biological behaviour. The lesion is most common between the ages of 10 and 50. We report a case of fibromyxoma of the jaw in a 56 years old woman, with histologic and histochemical study. The case has clinical and statistical relevance for its unusual age of occurrence.
