Application of polyetheretherketone temporal muscle prostheses for temporal hollowing following cranioplasty [PDF]
BackgroundDecompressive craniectomy is an effective intervention for refractory intracranial hypertension. However, subsequent cranioplasty, though technically less demanding, is associated with a non-negligible incidence of complications.

Changes in temporal muscle dimensions and their clinical impact in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors [PDF]
Objective: This study investigates temporal muscle atrophy in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients post-resuscitation, seeking associations with neurological outcomes and factors associated with atrophy. Methods: Using data from six Japanese intensive

Temporal muscle measurements as predictor for outcome in a cohort of IDH-wildtype glioblastoma patients [PDF]
Background: Temporal muscle thickness has been suggested as an independent prognostic marker for glioblastoma patient outcome. Various cohort studies show however conflicting results.

Temporal Muscle Thickness Is a Prognostic Factor for Neurological Recovery After Surgery for Chronic Subdural Hematoma [PDF]
Background: Sarcopenia is increasingly recognized as a prognostic factor in surgical populations. This study evaluated the association between cranial CT-based markers of sarcopenia and neurological outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for chronic ...

Functional anatomy of the human temporal muscle [PDF]
The authors carried out an anatomical and magnetic resonance imaging study on the architecture of the mandibular elevator muscles of 169 cadavers. The aim of the study was to define the organisational architecture of the human masseter, temporal and pterygoid muscles. Layer by layer dissection and anatomical cuts in different spatial planes showed that

Association between temporal muscle morphology based on MRI and muscle mass and strength in healthy young adults: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
Background Temporal muscle morphology, easily visible on cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is increasingly recognized as a noninvasive biomarker of systemic muscle health. This study examines the association between temporal muscle thickness (TMT)

Advances in the relationship between temporal muscle thickness and prognosis of patients with glioblastoma: a narrative review [PDF]
The most dangerous variety of glioma, glioblastoma, has a high incidence and fatality rate. The prognosis for patients is still bleak despite numerous improvements in treatment approaches. We urgently need to develop clinical parameters that can evaluate

Age- and sex-adjusted CT-based reference values for temporal muscle thickness, cross-sectional area and radiodensity [PDF]
Muscle mass has been traditionally assessed by measuring paraspinal muscle areas at the level of the third lumbar vertebra on computed tomography (CT). Neurological or neurosurgical patients seldom undergo CT scans of the lumbar region. Instead, temporal

Anatomical Bases of the Temporal Muscle Trigger Points. [PDF]
Background and Purpose. Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a chronic or acute form of musculoskeletal pain that affects nearly three-quarters of the world’s population. It is characterized by muscle pain and stiffness, with palpable nodules and hyperirritability areas called myofascial trigger points (MTPs). The temporal muscle is frequently involved in

Temporal Muscle Swelling after Clipping Surgery with Frontotemporal Craniotomy Is Associated with Immediate Postcraniotomy Headache [PDF]
Immediate postcraniotomy headache frequently occurs within the first 48 h after surgery. The mechanisms underlying immediate postcraniotomy headache are not yet fully understood, and effective treatments are not yet established.
