Drainage system of the frontal fontanelle

Abstract

Thanks to significant advancements in morphology and related disciplines, recent years have seen an expanded understanding of the structural composition of cranial fontanelles in children. Before the introduction of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into practice, diagnosing the nature of pathological processes and damage to fontanelles based solely on clinical manifestations was extremely challenging. In particular, an accurate diagnosis of certain conditions could only be made post-mortem or intraoperatively. However, the improvement of radiological diagnostic methods and the widespread adoption of modern research techniques have led to a dramatic improvement in this situation. The prevention, early diagnosis, and timely treatment of angioneurosurgical diseases in children are among the most pressing issues in medical science. Despite more than 100 years of history in neurosurgical treatment, the number of patients with cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathology is increasing in nearly all countries
