Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review on the morphological characteristics of the skull base (flexion, anterior length and posterior length) and the concomitant development of malocclusions, by comparing differences in dimorphism, ethnicity and age.
Methods: The articles were selected by means of electronic search on BBO, MEDLINE and LILACS databases from 1966 to 2016. A qualitative evaluation of the methodologies used on the articles was also performed.
Results: Although the literature on this topic is abundant, only 16 articles were selected for the present systematic review. The cranial base angle itself does not seem to play a significant role in the development of malocclusions. In fact, the cranial base angle is relatively stable at the ages of 5 to 15 years.
Conclusions: A more obtuse angle at the skull base, in association or not with a greater anterior length of the cranial base, can contribute to the development of Class II division 1 malocclusions. On the other hand, a more acute angle at the skull base can contribute to a more anterior positioning of the mandible and to the development of Class III malocclusions.

This review explores the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in radiation oncology, focusing on computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques. We examined CV-based AI/ML in digital pathology and radiomics, highlighting the prospective clinical studies demonstrating their utility. We also reviewed NLP-based AI/ML applications in clinical documentation analysis, knowledge assessment, and quality assurance.

In skull base surgery, the method of using a probe to draw or 3D scanners to acquire intraoperative facial point clouds for spatial registration presents several issues. Manual manipulation results in inefficiency and poor consistency. Traditional registration algorithms based on point clouds are highly dependent on the initial pose.

Background: Collision sellar tumors are rare disease entities. Less than 30 cases have been reported in the literature in the last 20 years. We present the case of one patient diagnosed with a collision sellar tumor and describe the use of Enhanced Contact Endoscopy for pituitary gland and tumoral identification not previously described in the literature.

Background: Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor. This single-center study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological, radiological profile, and outcomes of patients with intracranial meningiomas in terms of functional status, morbidity, mortality, and recurrence-free survival (RFS).
Methods: Patients of intracranial meningioma treated between January 01, 2010, and December 31, 2019, at the Department of Neurosurgery, King George's Medical University, India, were included in this study.
