What is the rear Falx?
The rear Falx is the back of the Falx Cerebri, an important part of the anatomy of the brain. This structure runs between two hemispheres of the brain to separate them and provide support and stability. It is possible to visualize the Falx cerebri using a medical imaging study or in a procedure where the patient's brain is exposed, although most of it is buried deep inside the brain and it would be necessary to remove the brain to see it throughout the brain. Each reflection affects the separation of different brain components. In the case of Falx cerebri, the structure takes place between the hemispheres and the rear Falx is part in the rear of the head. The corresponding front FALX is a section in front of the skull.
in the back of the skull, Falx is wider and stronger. Looking from the side, the whole structure looks similar to the sickle and the width increases to the rear Falx. The base of the structure floats freely in the skull cavity, while the ends are associated with other parts of Dura Mater. This material insulates and protects the brain and provides a mechanism for draining fluids by allowinge freely flow the liquid between its layers.
One of the potential rear Falx failures is meningioma, a tumor that occurs in the dura mater and similar structures. Meningiom can push into the brain and can push the tissue. This will cause adequate neurological symptoms in the patient. Symptoms may include headaches and cognitive decline caused by brain cell damage. The medical imaging study reveals the density in the brain and shows the location of the tumor. Sometimes densities are the result of shading or small anatomical anomaly and the doctor can take pictures from several angles to prevent false diagnosis.
Malignancy treatment at the back of Falx usually requires surgery to remove the tumor. The doctor exposes a small part of the Falx to access the tumor with minimal disturbance of neighboring tissue. Once the procedure is completed, the patient may receive targeted chemotherapy and radiation. Results for patients with meningiomas inThe rear Falx can be very favorable, especially if the growth is captured early.
