abstract = "The development of the calvaria, skull base, and facial bones proceeds in an orderly fashion from a mesenchymal anlage, through chondrification, and finally to ossification. This review presents a current overview of the overall process, illustrated with multiple drawings to help make
clearer the complex developmental changes that occur.Learning Objective: List 5 specific events during embryologic development of the skull base that impact the imaging appearance of pediatric and adult skull base pathology.",
