AI Article Synopsis
- The cranial base is important for craniofacial growth and connects various regions of the skull, and this study aimed to compare cranial base flexure in Class I and Class II division 1 malocclusions.
- A total of 103 patients (52 Class I and 51 Class II) were analyzed using lateral cephalometric radiographs, focusing on cranial base angle measurements.
- The results showed no significant differences in cranial base angles between the two malocclusion classes, indicating that jaw relationships might be influenced by other factors beyond cranial base morphology.
Article Abstract
Introduction: The cranial base plays a key role in craniofacial growth; it helps to integrate spatially and functionally different patterns of growth in various adjoining regions of the skull such as components of the brain, the nasal and oral cavity and the pharynx. The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference in cranial base flexure between skeletal and dental Class I and Class II division 1.
Materials & Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiograph, of Class I and Class II with an average growth pattern were analyzed and compared. A total of 103 patients having class I (n=52) and class II (n=51) malocclusion, were taken from Department of Orthodontics, Rajasthan Dental College & Hospital, Jaipur. Cranial base angle (N-S-Ar) and ANB were measured on pre treatment lateral cephalograms.
Results: In this study cranial base angle did not show statistically significant difference between the two groups studied.
Conclusion: In the assessment of orthodontic problems involving anteroposterior malrelationships of the jaws, the problem is usually the result of size, form and position of the jaw. The present study failed to find any differences in cranial base angle between sagittal malocclusions. How to cite this article: Agarwal A, Pandey H, Bajaj K, Pandey L.

Severe Delayed-Onset Meningitis Developed One Year After a Basilar Skull Fracture Without a Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak: A Case Report.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage from skull base fractures increases the risk of bacterial meningitis, which is associated with a high mortality rate in adults, and commonly results in severe neurological outcomes. While most cases of CSF leakage occur within three months post-injury and generally resolve spontaneously, delayed-onset meningitis remains a challenging complication. Herein, we report a rare case of severe bacterial meningitis with an intraventricular abscess one year following a frontal skull base fracture, despite no CSF leak.

Tuberculosis (TB) affecting the central nervous system (CNS) is rare, often mimicking other intracranial pathologies such as meningiomas, especially when located in the anterior skull base. Despite a global reduction in TB incidence, CNS TB continues to present diagnostic challenges due to its nonspecific imaging characteristics. We report a case of a 39-year-old male with symptoms including persistent headache, vertigo, and visual disturbances.

A cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak from the anterior skull base is a challenging neurosurgical issue that requires prompt recognition and treatment. Options for treatment include medical and surgical repair. A systematic review was performed screening for both retrospective and prospective clinical studies evaluating the efficacy of acetazolamide in the event of CSF leaks of the anterior skull base.
