Burke Morin DO, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Steven Paul Meyers MD, PhD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

1. Give an overview of non-neoplastic conditions that affect the skull, to include congenital, developmental, hematologic, metabolic, genetic and inflammatory causes. 2. Provide a description of characteristic imaging findings illustrated with CT and MRI. 3. Describe significant clinical epidemiologic and histopathologic findings associated with each condition.

Examples Include: Congenital Meningoceles, Meningoencephaloceles and Atretic cephaloceles (e.g. Nasal glioma, Dermoid/Epidermoid, Neurenteric cyst, Sinus pericranii, Parietal foramina). Developmental Microcephaly (e.g. Hypoxic ischemic injury, TORCH, Trisomies 13 and 21). Macrocephaly (e.g. Alexander, Canavan, Megalencephalic Leukodystrophy with subcortical cysts, Hydrocephalus). Cranial Asymmetry (e.g. Craniosynostosis, Apert, Crouzon, Cleidocranial dysostosis, Achondroplasia). Hematologic Sickle cell disease, Thalassemia and Leukemia. Metabolic/Genetic Osteogenesis imperfecta, Achondrogenesis, Hypophosphatasia, Menkes syndrome, Osteopetrosis, Oxalosis, Hyperparathyroidism, Hyperphosphatemic rickets, Paget's disease. Inflammatory Osteomyelitis, Sarcoid, Eosinophilic granuloma, Erdheim Chester disease, Sinusitis, Potts puffy tumor and Mastoiditis.
