Teachers bone? - what?

Posted: Oct 04, 2011

neuro report, "appears to be a bony lesion involving the base of the skull involving the teachers bone"

can't find this anywhere, got any ideas? thanks

maybe just hearing it wrong. Could you be hearing petrous? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
The petrous portion of the temporal bone or pyramid is pyramidal and is wedged in at the base of the skull between the sphenoid and occipital bones. Directed medially, forward, and a little upward, it presents for examination a base, an apex, three surfaces, and three angles, and contains, in its interior, the essential parts of the organ of hearing. The petrous portion is among the most basal elements of the skull and forms part of the endocranium.
