Purpose: The clinical utility of brain computed tomography (CT) in detecting temporal bone fracture is not well established. We performed this study to determine the utility of brain computed tomography (CT) in detecting fractures of the temporal bones in correlation with fracture patterns. We used high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) as the gold standard for diagnosing temporal bone fracture and its pattern. Methods: From January 2007 to December 2009, patients who underwent both brain CT and HRCT within 10 days of head trauma were investigated. Among them, 58 cases of temporal bone fracture confirmed by HRCT were finally included. Fracture patterns (transverse or non-transverse, otic capsule sparing or otic capsule violating) were determined by HRCT. Brain CT findings in correlation with fracture patterns were analyzed. Results: Among 58 confirmed cases of temporal bone fracture by HRCT, 14 cases (24.1%) were not detected by brain CT. Brain CT showed a significantly lower ability to detect temporal bone fracture with transverse component than without transverse component (p=0.020). Moreover, brain CT showed lower ability to detect otic capsule violating pattern than otic capsule sparing pattern (p=0.015). Among the 14 cases of temporal bone fracture that were not detected by brain CT, 4 cases lacked any objective physical findings (facial palsy, hemotympanum, external auditory canal bleeding) suggesting fractures of the temporal bones. Conclusion: Brain CT showed poor ability to detect temporal bone fracture with transverse component and otic capsule violating pattern, which is associated with a poorer clinical outcome than otic capsule sparing pattern. Routine use of HRCT to identify temporal bone fracture is warranted, even in cases without evidence of temporal bone fracture on brain CT scans or any objective physical findings suggestive of temporal bone fracture.

중이의 impedance는 고막, 이소골연쇄 및 중이강.유양동.함기봉와의 공기강에 의해 결정되는 바, 저자는 우선 신선한 개의 중이를 재료로 하여 중이강의 강기체적을 변동시킴으로써 중이강의 공기체적인자가 중이의 impedance를 어떻게 변동시키는가를 조사하였고, 다음으로 과거력과 현재상태에서 외이도, 고막 및 중이에 병변이 없는 환자에서 중이의 impedance를 측정하고 아울러 측두골의 X-녹상을 언어 측두골의 함기도에 따라 중이의 static compliance의 변동을 조사하여 이과학의 임상적인 면에서의 중이의 static compliance의 또 하나의 이용가치를 구명하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 개의 중이는 control state에서 Type A의 tympanogram을 보였으며, 중이강의 공기체적의 변동에 의해 tympanogram curve의 채형은 변동하지 않았다. 2. 개의 중이에 있어서 중이의 static complance는 중이강의 공기체적의 변동에 의해 유의한 직선적인 증가를 보였으며, 중이강의 공기체적 1cc의 증가에 대해 $0.5{\pm}0.1$cc의 증가율을 보였다. 3. 측두골의 함기도가 양호해짐에 따른 중이의 static compliance의 증가경향과 개의 측두골표본에서의 실험적인 근거로부터 측두골의 함기도(x)와 중이의 static compliance (y)사이에 $y=0.19x+0.16{\pm}0.05$의 회귀방정식을 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 중이강의 공기체적의 변동은 유의한 중이의 static compliance의 변동을 일으키며, electroacoustic impedance bridge (Madsen ZO 70, 220 Hz 의 probe tone을 사용)를 사용하였 중이의 static compliance를 측정함으로써 임상적으로 측두골의 X-선상을 촬영하지 아니하고도 간단히 측두골의 함기도를 알 수 있을 것으로 생각되어, impedance audiometry의 임상진단학적인 견지에서의 또 하나의 가치를 보고하는 바이다.

Desmoplastic fibromas are rare intraosseous bone tumors. They are benign but locally aggressive and frequently found in the long bones and mandible. We report radiographic and histopathologic finding of a case desmoplastic fibroma involving right temporal skull bone. A 53-year-old woman presented at our hospital complaining of continuous right side headaches for a year. Simple skull X-ray film showed $3{\times}2.5cm$ lytic lesion with mild sclerotic margin on right temporal area. A large craniectomy 1cm lateral to margin was fashioned. The resected mass showed encapsulated mass colored white gray. Histologic diagnosis was compatible with that of a the desmoplastic fibroma. There was no evidence of recurrence during the 15months of follow-up period.

We examined the osteological development of the cranium, visceral skeleton, pectoral girdle, vertebral column, fins, and pterygiophore of small yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis cultured at the Jeju Fisheries Research Institute. At 5.89 mm NL (notochord length), the larvae already had ossified frontal and basioccipital bones, parasphenoids, and vomer in the cranium. All elements of the visceral skeleton except the metapterygoid were ossified at 5.89 mm NL. Preorbital bone was ossified at 8.11 mm SL (standard length), and suborbital bones were ossified at 12.90 mm SL. In the vertebral column, ossification proceeded from the first to last centrum. The urostyle ossified at 7.41 mm SL. The caudal skeleton ossified at 6.78 mm NL, along with three hypural bones. In the pectoral girdle, the cleithrum, supracleithrum, postcleithrum, and post-temporal bones ossified at 5.89 mm NL. Caudal fin ossification began at 6.19 mm SL and was complete at 7.16 mm SL. Dorsal and anal fin ossification began at 7.16 mm SL and was complete at 8.62 mm and 8.11 mm SL, respectively. Anal and dorsal pterygiophore bone ossification was complete at 9.86 mm and 11.54 mm SL, respectively, and that of the supraneural bones was complete at 9.60 mm SL.

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the craniofacial bones has been reported but they are not common. This tumor occurs more often in women than in men and predominantly affects patients around the third to fifth decade of life. GCTs are generally benign but can be locally aggressive as well. We report a case of GCT involving the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which was initially thought to be temporomandibular disorder (TMD). A 22-year-old female presented with swelling and pain over the right temporal region for 18 months associated with jaw locking and clicking sounds. On examination, her jaw deviated to the right during opening and there was a $2{\times}2$ cm swelling over the right temporal region. Despite routine treatment for TMD, the swelling increased in size. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and TMJ revealed an erosive tumor of the temporal bone involving the TMJ which was displacing the temporal lobe. Surgical excision was done and the tumor removed completely. Histopathological examination was consistent with a GCT. No clinical or radiological recurrence was detected 10 months post-surgery.

Results from multiple high profile experiments on the parameters influencing the impacts that cause skull fractures to the frontal, temporal, and parietal bones were gathered and analyzed. The location of the impact as a binary function of frontal or lateral strike, the velocity, the striking area of the impactor, and the force needed to cause skull fracture in each experiment were subjected to statistical analysis using the JMP statistical software pack. A novel neural network model predicting skull fracture threshold was developed with a high statistical correlation ($R^2=0.978$) and presented in this text. Despite variation within individual studies, the equation herein proposes a 3 kN greater resistance to fracture for the frontal bone when compared to the temporoparietal bones. Additionally, impacts with low velocities (<4.1 m/s) were more prone to cause fracture in the lateral regions of the skull when compared to similar velocity frontal impacts. Conversely, higher velocity impacts (>4.1 m/s) showed a greater frontal sensitivity.

The tympanic plate is a small part of the temporal bone that separates the mandibular condyle from the external auditory canal. Fracture of this small plate is rare and usually associated with other bony fractures, mainly temporal and mandibular bone. There is a limited amount of literature on this subject, which increases the chance of cases being overlooked by physicians and radiologists. This is further supported by purely isolated cases of tympanic plate fracture without evidence of other bony fractures. Cone-beam computed tomography is an investigative three-dimensional imaging modality that can be used to detect fine structures and fractures in maxillofacial trauma. This article presents four cases of isolated tympanic plate fracture diagnosed by cone-beam computed tomography with no evidence of fracture involving other bones and review of the literature.

Streptococcal pneumoniae is the second most coomon cause of meningitis in infancy and a major respiratory pathogen. It is the one of the most common cause of acquired pneumonia and otitis media in childhood. Intracranial extesion of acute otitis media occur somewhat more often from poorly pneumatized than from well-pneumatized temporal bones and in ears with a history of previous attacks of otitis media. We experienced a case of pneumococcal meningitis with 3 time recurrences in a 6 year-old male patient who had hospitalized with high fever, headache, vomiting and stupor mental state. He was diagnosed as CSF study and brain CT. Brain CT showed poorly pneumatized right mastoid region of temporal bone at that time. We report a case of pneumococcal meningitis with 3 time recurrences due to poorly pnematized mastoid region of temporal bone. A review of literatures was also presented briefly.

The purpose of this study is to examine the initial reaction of craniofacial complex to the traction of headgears which are frequent used in dinical practice by using holographic interference method. Changes in the fringe pattern according to the traction conditions (outer bow length, load amount, direction) were compared. Human dry skull was used as experimental material, the results were as follows. 1. The density of fringes increased with an increase in load. 2. Maxillary headgear affected circummaxillary bones-temporal bone, zygomatic bone, nasal bone, frontal bone, sphenoid bone as well as maxilla. 3. The most upward-backward displacement was observed in a high pull head gear $(30^{\circ})$, this is though to be a optimal direction for supressing the growth of the maxilla.
