the orientation of this type of vertigo is vertical rather than horizontal, without latency, and unsuppressed by visual fixation. ENG is useful in documenting these characteristics. There are commonly other signs of brainstem dysfunction (eg, cranial nerve palsies; motor, sensory, or cerebellar deficits in the limbs or of increased intracranial pressure. Auditory function is generally spared. The underlying cause should be treated.(9) 1. Vestibular Epilepsy: It is a rare cortical vertigo…

Sylvain fissure. Next the temporal horn is located. The temporal horn is found on the anterior end of the temporal lobe on the superior temporal sulcus. The localization of the temporal horn is done through dissecting toward the floor of the middle cranial fossa until gray matter is seen, then the dissection moves medially into the white matter until the temporal horn is entered. The dissection at this point with reflect the cerebrospinal fluid at the level of the inferior portion of the lateral…

function of the latissimus dorsi is extension of the arm, as in swinging the arm toward the back. Finally, the latissimus dorsi medially rotates the arm.

bone. As a consequence, bone modeling and remodeling are impaired. The defect in bone turnover characteristically results in skeletal fragility despite increased bone mass, and it may also cause hematopoietic insufficiency, disturbed tooth eruption, nerve entrapment syndromes, and growth impairment. Researchers have described several major types of osteopetrosis, which are usually distinguished by their pattern of inheritance: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked. The different…

as the forehead (Cancer 2016). • The occipital bone is posterior making up most of the base of the skull. • The ethmoid bone forms the anterior cranial fossa, a portion of the nasal septum, and the roof of the nasal cavity/lateral walls. • The sphenoid is a butterfly shaped bone-forming part of the orbit. It also articulates with other bones in the cranial (Cancer 2016). • Auditory ossicles contain…
