Post-natal Growth
• Brain expands- passively displaced
• C.T stroma


Post-natal Growth
• Tension at sutures
• New bone dep
• ↑ Circumference


Post-natal Growth
• Flattening of bones
• Thickening not uniform (sicher)


Direction of bone growth


 Cranial

growth-combination
 Sutural

growth

 Surface

appo & resorp

 Outward

disp by expanding brain


Anatomy
Anterior cranial fossa
Middle cranial fossa
Posterior cranial fossa


 Orbital

part of frontal bone

 Cribriform
 Anterior

plate of ethmoid bone

part of body of sphenoid &
lesser wing of sphenoid


Deeper than ant cranial fossa
 Shaped like a butterfly
 In

front bounded by post part of
lesser wing of sphenoid & body of
sphenoid

 Behind

by sup border of temporal
bones & dorsum sellae of sphenoid
bone

Centrally
Optic canal
Hypophysial fossa

Laterally
Superior orbital fissure
Foramen rotandum
Foramen ovale
Foramen spinosum
Foramen lacerum

Posterior cranial fossa


Pre-natal growth
Cranium divided into 2 parts
•Neurocranium-protects, supports;
brain, sense organs
•Viscerocranium-elementary, resp
track, face, max & mandible

Basicranium - both

Pre-natal growth

Condrification Early evidence of cartilage
Late somite period-4th i.u week


Condrification centers
From cartilages-

•Parachordal cartilage
•Hypophysial cartilage / postsphenoid
•Trabecular cartilage / Presphenoid
•Otic capsule
•Nasal capsule

Primordial cartilages


Pre-natal growth
Parachordal
cartilage


Parachordal cartilage
Fused sclerotomes
arising from occ somites
Sclerotomes- bounds
magnum
Anlagen- basilar, condylar parts

 Hypophyseal cartilage
2 cartilages on either sides - fuse
postsphenoid
Sella turcea,
post part of body of
sphenoid

 Trabecular cartilage
2 cartilages on either side
Ant part of body of sphenoid


Trabecular cartilage
Laterally Orbitosphenoid cartilage- forms lesser

wing of sphenoid
 Alisphenoid cartilage- forms greater
wing of sphenoid


Trabecular cartilage

Anteriorly presphenoid fuse

Mesethmoid cartilage

At birth – Ethmoid bone

 Otic capsule
Otic capsule

Mastoid & Petrous part of temp bone


 Nasal capsule
Conrify in 2nd i.u month


Chondrocranial ossification


Chondrocranial ossification
• 110 ossi centers – embryonic skull
• 45 bones – neonatal skull
• 22 bones – young adult
• Unossified remnents – ala,nasal sepum,
speno-occi&speno-petrous jn,apex
of petrous bone,btwn separate
parts of occ bone

Occipital bone


7 ossi centers - 2
intramembranous
5 endochondral



Sq portion above sup
nuchal line –ossify
from pair of i.m ossi centers
8th i.u week



Infranuchally – pair of
endochondral
centers 10th i.u week

Occipital bone


Single median
endochondral ossi
center at 11th week
ant to fora magnum&
ant 3rd occi condyl



pair of endochondral
ossi centers at 12th
week from
exocci bone lat to
magnum including
2/3rd occi condyl

Temporal bone


Temporal bone
21 ossi centers
squamous & tympanic comp – ossify i.m
Petrosal & styloid elements - endochond


Temporal bone








Sq portion – single center at 8th i.u
week
Tympanic ring- 4 centers at 3rd i.u
month
Petrosal part- 14 centers; appear at
16th week, fuse 6th i.u month
Styloid process- 2 centers
upper center- just before birth
lower center- just after birth

Ethmoid bone


Ethmoid bone


Ossifies from 3 centers



Single median center in mesethmoid
cartilage – forms ppd plate & crista
galli just before birth
A pair appear in nasal capsular carti
4th i.u month




Inferior nasal concha
Purely



endochondral bone

Single center

 Cartilage

of lat part of nasal capsule

appear in 5th i.u mth


Sphenoid bone


Sphenoid bone
•Intramembranous ossification centers
Medial pterygoid plates – 2
Lateral pterygoid plates -2
•Endochondral ossification centers
Presphenoid – 3
Postsphenoid – 4
Orbitosphenoids - 2
Alisphenoids
- 2
Pterygoid hamuli - 2

Cranial base angulation


Cranial base angulation
Hypophyseal fossa (prechordal & chordal
parts)
Nasion - Sella - Basion .
Precartilage stage – 150°,
highly obtuse
Cartilage stage
130°
Preossification stage – 115°-120°,more acute
Ossification stage – 125°-130 , postnatally.


Post-Natal growth
Endocranial surface – resorptive

× Multidirectional enlargement


 Bony elevations b/w fossae, divide fossa
into various compartments
 Middle & post fossae by petrous
elevation
 Olfactory fossae by crista galli
 Rt & left mid cranial fossae by midline
sphenoidal elevation
 Rt & left ant & post cranial fossae by
longi midline bony ridge

Post-natal growth
Fossa expands outward by resorption,
Partitions between them enlarge
inward by deposition


Post-natal growth
 Remodelling provides stability for
nerves & vessel passage way
 Foramina undergo remodelling &
drift to maintain position of cranial
nerves & major blood vessels


Synchondrosis
 Regarded as growth center &
pacemaker of cranial base
 Midline part of cranial base


 Synchondrosis at the base
 Spheno-ethmoidal synchondrosis
 Intersphenoidal synchondrosis
 Spheno-occipital synchondrosis
 Intraoccipital synchondrosis

Spheno-occipital synchondrosis
 Principle growth cartilage of base
 Present till brain & base conti to
grow & expand
 Its growth ceases at 12 to 15, at
20 sphenoid&occi segments fuse


Structure of synchondrosis
Zones of cartilage Familial reserve zone
 Cell division zone
 Hyper tropic zone
 Calcified zone

Two major directions
Of linear growth

Structure of synchondrosis


 Cranial base growth
at s-o syn is reltd to
primary displacement
 Sinus is drawn out


Expansion of middle cranial fossa

Secondarily displaces – Ant cranial
fossa , naso -max complex & the
mandible


Frontal lobe & ant cranial
fossa growth complete by
5 – 6 yrs
 Temporal lobe& middle
fossa continue to grow
for several yrs


Post-natal growth
