The aim of the study was to assess the course of epilepsy in patients with signs of cranio-cerebral imbalance with a low CSF-cranial index.Materials and methods. We conducted a prospective analysis of clinical, instrumental and laboratory data from the case histories of 78 patients with epileptic seizures (cryptogenic epilepsy). Group I included 36 patients with normal reserve CSF volumes and physiological values of the CSF-cranial index; these patients received standard multicomponent therapy. Group II was comprised of 42 patients with abnormally small reserve CSF spaces and a lower than normal CSF-cranial index; patients in group II received the same treatment as did patients in group I.Results. We found a moderate correlation between the head circumference and the values of the CSF-cranial index. A strong correlation between the seizure occurrence rate and the values of the CSF-cranial index was also found (R=0.32, p=0.0043); the seizure rate correlation with the head circumference was less obvious (R=0.11, p=0.037). Most of the patients in group I had bilateral seizures, whereas in patients of group II the seizures were of a mixed character.Conclusion. The results of this clinical study suggest that the course of epilepsy in patients with a low CSF-cranial index is determined by the severity of anatomical reduction in the CSF dynamics; in most cases of a low CSF-cranial index, the course of epilepsy is severe. These findings should be considered at the starting and the later stages of antiepileptic therapy.

This study provides some comprehensive osteometric and morphologic descriptions of the skull region of the Markhoz goat. Totally, 17 osteometric parameters of eight skulls of Markhoz goat were measured and expressed as mean ± SD. A skull length of18.67±0.66, a cranial length of11.1±0.38, a facial length of10.23±0.76, a skull index of47.77±1.96, a cranial index of54.04±2.29, a facial index of100.77±6.85and a foramen magnum index of89.32±14.1were recorded. Morphologically frontal bone did not constitute the caudal extent of frontal surface; rather it was formed by the parietal bone. There were two supraorbital foramina in both sides. The prominent facial tuberosity lies dorsally to the 3rd cheek tooth. The infraorbital foramen was single on either side which was located directly dorsally to the junction of the first and second upper premolar. The orbits were round and complete and located on a frontolateral oblique plane. The basilar part of the occipital bone was surrounded by two pairs of muscular tubercles with similar size. The temporal line was continuous of the temporal crest and ran over the parietal bone. In conclusion, the morphologic and osteometric data of Markhoz goat are comparable to other ruminants.

Objective To describe a novel set of scaphocephaly severity indices (SSIs) for predicting and quantifying head- and skull-shape deformity in children diagnosed with isolated sagittal synostosis (ISS) and compare their sensitivity and specificity with those of the traditional cranial index (CI). Methods Computed tomography head scans were obtained from 60 patients diagnosed with ISS and 41 age-matched control patients. Volumetric reformations of the skull and overlying skin were used to trace two-dimensional planes defined in terms of skull-base plane and internal or surface landmarks. For each patient, novel SSIs were computed as the ratio of head width and length as measured on each of these planes. A traditional CI was also calculated and a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was applied to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the proposed indices with those of CI. Results Although the CI is a sensitive measure of scaphocephaly, it is not specific and therefore not a suitable predictor of ISS in many practical applications. The SSI-A provides a specificity of 95% at a sensitivity level of 98%, in contrast with the 68% of CI. On average, the sensitivity and specificity of all proposed indices are superior to those of CI. Conclusions Measurements of cranial width and length derived from planes that are defined in terms of internal or surface landmarks and skull-base plane produce SSIs that outperform traditional CI measurements.
