ABSTRACT

Introduction: The posterior cranial fossa is the largest and the deepest of the three fossae. Contents of posterior cranial fossa include occipital part of cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata. Variations in the volume of posterior cranial fossa may cause compression of these structures which may lead to various disorders. There is increasing evidence on the diagnostic potential of posterior cranial fossa measurements. The present study on morphometry of posterior cranial fossa based on CT images of patients without any clinical abnormality was undertaken for the first time in south Indian population. Subjects and Methods: To study and compare sex-wise and age-wise differences in the supratentorial and posterior cranial fossa (PF) measurements in the normal CT scan images of 62 males and 38 females who attended the Neurology department of SVIMS belonging to Rayalaseema region was undertaken. The measurements that were recorded are transverse diameter (TD) and anteroposterior diameter (APD) of supratentorial part and also posterior cranial fossa and height and volume of posterior cranial fossa. Results: The mean supratentorial TD and APD were found to be less in male but were not statistically significant sex-wise and age-wise. The mean posterior fossa APD was significant, PF height and volume were highly significantly in males. Discussion: There are no reports on supratentorial parameters in literature for comparing the results of present study. Except for one study on CT on height and volume of posterior cranial fossa there are no other studies for comparing the values of present study. Conclusion: Observations on supratentorial parameters of the present study are the first to be reported in literature.Age-wise and sex-wise observation of parameters of TD and APD of PF are the first to be reported in literature.

ABSTRACT

Con el objeto de evaluar el crecimiento de recién nacidos menores de 1.500g alimentados con leche de su propia madre (L.M.) se estudiaron 10 niños con peso promedio de 1,315 ñ 128g y edad gestacional de 31,1 ñ 1,5 semanas, adecuados para la edad gestacional y sin malformaciones congénitas mayores y se compararon con un grupo control de características similares alimentado con fórmula artificial (NAN 13%). La pérdida inicial de peso fue de 10,9% para el grupo L.M. y de 9,8% para el control (p = N.S.). La recuperación del peso de nacimiento ocurrió a los 16,0 días en el grupo L.M. y a los 20,8 en el control (p<0,05). La ganancia ponderal posterior fue de 23,7g x día versus 17,5 en el control (p<0,005). El tiempo empleado en alcanzar los 2.000g fue de 46 ñ 10 días en el grupo L.M. y de 63 ñ 17 en el control (p<0,01). En recién nacidos de muy bajo de peso la leche de su propia madre promueve crecimiento ponderal mejor que la fórmula de uso habitual, disminuye el período de hospitalización y favorece la relación madre-hijo
