2/The PPF is a crossroads between the skullbase & the extracranial head and neck. There are 4 main regions that meet here. The skullbase itself posteriorly, the nasal cavity medially, the infratemporal fossa laterally, and the orbit anteriorly.
3/At its most basic, you can think of the PPF as a room with 4 doors opening to each of these regions: one posteriorly to the skullbase, one medially to the nasal cavity, one laterally to the infratemporal fossa, and one anteriorly to the orbit
Just doing some digging. #Pain is extremely nuanced. And the approach should also. W my kids #health & #pain there has been continued lack of knowledge, assumptions, & unwillingness to understand.

Did you know the PELVIS has a diaphragm? 🤯
Muscles of the pelvic floor support viscera like the rectum, bladder, and reproductive organs. Openings of pelvic organs pass through hiatuses in this pelvic diaphragm.

The PELVIC DIAPHRAGM is composed of several smaller muscles that can get tricky to keep straight (PRO TIP: know your pelvic osteology first!).
Here are some formulas to keep these muscles organized, working our way down from the whole diaphragm to its various constituent parts, then back again:
PELVIC DIAPHRAGM = LEVATOR ANI + COCCYGEUS

Its a fact that most of us did not receive quality sex ed. If we did receive sexual anatomy lessons, they often centered on procreation, not pleasure. And as the clitoris’ sole purpose is pleasure, it has often been eliminated entirely from anatomy conversations. #sexed #anatomy
We all need to understand sexual anatomy better instead of focusing on reproduction, we want to talk pleasure. Talking about anatomy in a way that highlights pleasure can help challenge shameful, embarrassing, and incorrect messages we have received about our bodies and genitals
As all of our bodies and the way they like to be pleasured is unique, one of the best ways to get to know your sexual anatomy is through self love. So here are some tips on how to explore and pleasure your body.
1/I call the skullbase “homebase” bc you can’t make an anatomy homerun without it!
Most know the arteries of the skullbase, but few know the veins. Do you?

2/When I look at the skullbase veins, I see an angry Santa yelling at me. His eyebrows are raised, his mouth is open, & he has a mustache w/a big beard hanging down.
Each I look at the skullbase, I look for this Santa—bc each part of him is an important venous structure.

3/So let’s start w/Santa’s eyes. The eyes are actually not a venous structure, but an important landmark—foramen ovale, where the V3 trigeminal nerve exit.
I remember ovale is Santa's eyes bc eyes are OVAL, so his eyes are OVALE

2/First anatomy.
Thecal sac is like a highway, carrying the nerve roots down the lumbar spine.
Lateral recess is part of the lateral lumbar canal, which is essentially the exit for spinal nerve roots to get off the thecal sac highway & head out into the rest of the body

3/Exits have 3 main parts.
First is the deceleration lane, where the car slows down as it starts the process of exiting.
Then there is the off ramp itself.
The off ramp leads into the service road, which takes the car to the roads that it needs to get to its destination

2/Anatomy of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) is best seen on the sagittal images, where it looks like the McDonald’s arches.
To find the IFG on MR, I open the sagittal images & scroll until I see the arches. When it comes to this method of finding the IFG, "i’m lovin it."

This 3 is helpful bc the inferior frontal gyrus has 3 parts—or "pars"

2/Cerebellum means “little cerebrum” or “little brain” bc it looks like a mini brain--a mini me to the cerebrum one might say.
However, it does not play a mini role. In fact, despite being significantly smaller than the cerebrum, it contains as many neurons as the cerebrum

3/When most people think of cerebellar function, they think of balance. And the first thing that comes to mind with cerebellar dysfunction is imbalance & dizziness.
However, the cerebellum is involved in much more, including cognitive functions

It will probably redefine the surgical scope of complete resections of pelvic tumors (cervical, rectal, and bladder cancer), improve nerve-sparing and pelvic floor reconstruction, and reduce operative bleeding and surgical injuries.

2/First some basic gross anatomy.
Brainstem from the side looks like a "dad bod"--the body you get after you have kids & the kids wear you down & you don’t exercise anymore.
Head & shoulders are the midbrain, potbelly is the pons, & fat thighs are the medulla

3/Midbrain is the head & shoulders.
This makes sense b/c the name “midbrain”—brain should be in the head.
Midbrain also has the cerebral peduncles which look like classic Mickey Mouse ears—and dads classically have big, usually hairy, ears

2/ICA is like a staircase—winding up through important anatomic regions like a staircase winding up to each floor
Lobby is the neck. First floor is skullbase/carotid canal. Next it stops at the cavernous sinus, before finally reaching the rooftop balcony of the intradural space

3/ICA is divided into numbered segments based on landmarks that denote transitions on its way up the floors.
C1 is in the lobby or neck.
You can remember this b/c the number 1 looks elongated & straight like a neck

2/To understand spinal dural AVFs, you need to understand basic spinal vascular anatomy.
The spine is LONG—to get blood from the top of the cord to the bottom is like going through the length of a marathon course

3/So we will need to tackle it like you tackle running a marathon.
When you run a marathon, you replenish yourself at aid/water stations along the way so you can make it all the way through.
Same w/spinal arterial vasculature—it needs to be replenished on the way down.

2/Everyone knows about the blood supply to the brain. Circle of Willis anatomy is king and loved by everyone, while the vascular anatomy of the blood supply to the dura is the poor, wicked step child of vascular anatomy that is often forgotten
3/But dural vascular anatomy & supply are important, especially now that MMA embolizations are common for chronic recurrent subdurals. It also important for understanding dural arteriovenous fistulas as well.
