What's the difference between epicranial and epicranium?
Epicranial
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the epicranium; as epicranial muscles.
Example Sentences:
(1) The EMG, but not the positive wave, was elicited when the interpolar distance was reduced to 1 cm, which greatly reduced the fraction of current traversing the cortex (epicranial stimulation); furthermore, occluding the circulation to the scalp for 30 minutes by rubber tubing above the zygomas and brows dulled sensation, reduced the EMG, but did not alter the latency or rising phase of the positive wave.
(2) The use of the epicranial flaps and to a lesser degree, cryo-stored bone allografts are the major stages.
(3) This paper reports on 14 cases of cranial and orbital epidermoid tumours, of which 2 epicranial, 4 extradural intracranial, 4 fronto-orbital-sinusal, 2 orbital and 2 orbito-nasal cases.
(4) Apart from the approach routes, particular features of the technique used were essentially the size of the frontal flap extending to orbital roof, and mainly the confection of a pericranial flap formed of epicranial aponeurosis lined with frontoparietal periosteum and pedunculated at the orbital border.
(5) On the forehead, the epicranial fascia or aponeurosis (galea) splits to enclose the musculus frontalis.
(6) CT may be helpful in assessment of the amount of blood lost in the extraosseous epicranial tissues.
(7) In a related experiment, photorefractory sighted females were implanted epicranially with miniature self-powered lights (SPLs) or with non-emitting helium blanks (HBs) and transferred to short days.
(8) These results support, with experimental evidence, the utility of rigid three-dimensional fixation afforded by the microplate system in overcoming the effects of cranial growth and scalp and epicranial musculature closing tensions.
(9) The injection of contrast medium into an enlarged epicranial vein showed the extracranial malformation, well opacified; the phlebography revealed also a small dural malformation draining in the superior sagittal sinus.
(10) The superficial temporal fascia (temporoparietal fascia, epicranial aponeurosis) lies immediately deep to the hair follicles.
(11) Anatomically the superficial layer is part of the epicranial aponeurosis and thus covers nearly the entire lateral aspect of the skull.
(12) Epicranial plexiform neurofibroma is a rare presentation of neurofibromatosis.
(13) In the postoperative period she had a neurosurgical cerebral suppurating infection: subdural, epidural and epicranial, connected to the exterior by several fistulas.
(14) These flaps are supplied by vascular networks in the upper and lower parts of the epicranial aponeurosis.
(15) Because of the concomitant increase in the epicranial hematoma over a linear skull fracture in each case, the acute epidural hematoma was presumed to have been decompressed into the epicranial region through the fracture line.
(16) The Galeal epicranial flap can cover wounds of orobuccopharynx, otopoiesis and loss of facial substance.
(17) Two such cases are presented in which epicranial tumors constituted isolated manifestations of the disease except for skin pigmentation.
(18) It is an arterial flap, with a superficial temporal artery pedicle and is composed by three superimposed layers: the epicranial aponeurosis (galea capitis); a layer of sub-aponeurotic connective tissue; the periosteum of the cranial bones.
(19) The optimal skull base reconstruction, which consists of epicranial graft and cryopreserved bone homograft, seems to reduce operative morbidity and mortality.
(20) We examined pyruvate turnover using 1-[11C]pyruvate in the brain and epicranial muscle of 6 patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (MEM), diagnosed by muscle biopsy and mitochondrial enzyme assay.
Epicranium
Definition:
(n.) The upper and superficial part of the head, including the scalp, muscles, etc.
(n.) The dorsal wall of the head of insects.
Example Sentences:
(1) This is particularly important for lesions at the skull base, the ventricular system, the tentorium, the scalp and the epicranium.
(2) Next, the plate is perforated at several points and then is fixed with Vicryl stiches between the Teflon net and the epicranium.
