Normal and pathological growth of the foramen occipitale magnum shown in the plain radiograph
Description
The transverse diameter of the foramen occipitale magnum (f.o.m.) in the semiaxial skull X-ray was measured and evaluated statistically in 174 cerebrally healthy children of different ages. These normal values are contrasted with the foramen diameters of 35 children with verified Arnold-Chiari malformation as well as children with macrocephaly and microcephaly. The values in children with Arnold-Chiari malformation are all above the norm, irrespective of whether or not there is a concomitant hydrocephalus. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Der Querdurchmesser des Foramen occipitale magnum (f.o.m.) im semiaxialen Schaedelroentgenbild wurde bei 174 hirngesunden Kindern unterschiedlichen Alters gemessen und statistisch ausgewertet. Die ermittelten Normalwerte wurden mit den Foramendurchmesser von 35 Kindern mit nachgewiesener Arnold-Chiari-Missbildung und bei Kindern mit Makro- und Mikrozephalie verglichen. Die Werte von Kindern mit Arnold-Chiari-Missbildung liegen stets ueber der Norm, unabhaengig davon, ob gleichzeitig ein Hydrocephalus vorliegt. (orig.)Additional details
