The posterior cervical triangle houses an important nodal basin in the spread of several cancers in the head and neck, particularly cutaneous malignancies of the scalp. A safe and effective…
The parapharyngeal space is a potential space below the skull base and lateral to the upper portion of the oropharynx. While tumors in this space are uncommon, neoplasms in this…
Cervical fascias are critically important in compartmentalizing spaces of the head and neck with significant clinical and surgical implications. Knowledge and deep understanding of the cervical fascias serves to facilitate…
To develop an anatomically accurate 3-dimensional (3D) digital model of the lateral neck anatomy, including musculature, neurovasculature, and other associated structures such as lymphatics. Lateral neck anatomy, emphasizing level 1-4…
Abstract This project aims to create a 3-dimensional (3D) digital model of central neck anatomy, including muscles, neurovasculature, and viscera. The neck was segmented from a CT angiogram of a…
The infratemporal fossa is an irregular space inferior to the temporal fossa and deep to the ramus of the mandible. It is densely packed with muscles and neuro-vasculature, in close…
The pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) is a small fat-filled space deep within the head on the lateral skull base. It serves as a site of communication between the infratemporal fossa, nasal…
Abstract Purpose Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) may have frequent recurrences after fluid resolution, but time to recurrence is unclear. This study explored time to first polypoidal recurrence after 1-year fixed-dosing…
Intraocular gas tamponade, widely used in vitreoretinal surgery, can pose risks during air travel and high-altitude mountain trips. Low atmospheric pressure can increase intraocular pressure when the eye’s volume capacity…
Abstract Purpose To optimize the psychometric properties of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) quality of life (QoL) item banks (IBs), and evaluate their performance using computerized adaptive testing (CAT) simulations. Design…
