| Abstract:
|
The base of the skull base was quite a complex region having many neural and vascular structures that are connected with the cranial fossae, paranasal sinus, nasal cavity, orbit and the neck.Foramen spinosum is a small circular foramen placed within the greater wing of the sphenoid near or at the foundation of the spine of the sphenoid, posterolateral to foramen ovale. Foramen ovale and spinosum are foramen in the middle cranial fossa. Foramen ovale is located within the greater wing of the sphenoid bone, posterior to the foramen rotundum and lateral to the lingula and posterior cease of the carotid groove. The jugular foramen is another important foramina. It is a compound bony canal, many vital structures, including nerves and vessels are transmitted through it.The present study has adopted 64 dry skulls from the Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals . The present study thus concluded that the prior study of morphometric analysis cranial base foramina is of utmost importance in the during cranial base surgical procedures and also useful in anthropological studies.
