Early Endoscopic Repair of Traumatic Skull Base Dural Injuries: Challenging the Dogma of Conservative Management

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.
