We present a case of a 74-year-old woman with headaches, pyrexia, and intermittent right-sided otorrhoea and rhinorrhoea. Her nasal discharge tested positive for Beta-2-Transferrin, confirming a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. High-resolution CT (HRCT) mastoids showed a defect in the right tegmen, and CSF within the middle ear and mastoid air cells.

Purpose: The paracondylar process (PCP) is defined as the bony prominence extending from the outer side of the condyles on the outer surface of the occipital bone downwards towards the transverse process of the atlas (TPA). In this case report, the morphometry of the rarely seen PCP and its morphometric data with neighboring structures are evaluated.
Case Report And Results: Unilateral (right-sided) PCP was observed in the cranium of a Caucasian female.

Background: Cranial vault lesions are common in children, with dermoid and epidermoid cysts being the most frequent. Management is debated due to their slow growth, but early resection can prevent complications and provide a definitive histological diagnosis, which is sometimes linked to systemic diseases.
Methods: A retrospective study of children treated surgically for cranial vault tumors from January 2011 to April 2023 was conducted.

The transverse sinus (TS) is often involved with pathology for structural reasons. The aim of this study was to improve understanding of the anatomy along the groove of the TS and sigmoid sinus (SS), to discuss the relationship between the bony features and pathologies affecting the TS. Seventy dry skulls (140 sides) were used for detailed observation of the TS and SS grooves using gross investigation coupled with transillumination.

The number of spinal reconstruction cases is growing, as are the accompanying complications. Wound complications after spinal reconstruction can be fatal and can affect up to 19% of patients undergoing major spine surgery. The discipline of spinoplastic surgery is characterized by the use of vascularized bone grafts to reconstruct spinal defects, which provide better results compared with nonvascularized and allogenic equivalents, owing to their superior blood supply.
