Osteomas are benign bony tumors of the skull that are relatively common, occurring in up to 10% of the population. The most common osteoma is the peripheral type which emanates from the outer surface of the skull. They develop through centrifugal growth from the periosteum with trauma and vessel bleeding being the most recognized cause. Read More…
Background: The frontal bone which makes up the forehead develops from bony outgrowths of the frontal eminence region. As a result it occurs in some people that the frontal eminences may remain somewhat prominent when the forehead is fully developed. Because there is a frontal eminence on each side of the forehead any residual prominence Read More…
Background: The forehead is a non-conspicuous surface area other then the eyebrows. Between the frontal hairline and the eyebrows the forehead does not usually have any distinguishing features on its underlying bony surface. Eventually with age horizontal and vertical wrinkle lines will develop but these are soft tissue changes. Bumps on the forehead are particularly Read More…

(discrete convexities and concavities) The vast majority of these are normal skeletal contours or variations thereof. But occasionally a raised hard bump develops that occurs in an area that is normally smooth. One such traditionally smooth craniofacial area is that Read More…
Facial gender identity is highlighted by several facial areas or zones. One of these facial areas in the upper third of the face or forehead.

Its borders are the hair-bearing areas of the frontal hairline superiorly, the eyebrows inferiorly and the temporal hairline laterally. The frontal hairline determines the vertical length of the forehead. The eyebrows provide facial expression and create a emotional appearance. The forehead bone determines Read More…
