Emissary Foramens of the Human Skull: Anatomical Characteristics and its Relations with Clinical Neurosurgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anatomical variations of foramens of the skull have been of interest for neuroanatomists due to clinical consequences that these structures can cause, especially in the areas as neurosurgery and dentistry. These anatomical variations tend to be neglected by clinicians and most are mentioned or described as "rare" or "occasional" in human anatomy books. However, the knowledge of three-dimensional topographic anatomy of skull structures and their morphometric values is necessary but not sufficient for performing of a safe treatment, thus it is suggested that detailed knowledge of anatomical variations is essential for students in health areas who on work the head and neck (Keskil et al., 2003).

Morphometric Analysis of Accessory Sutural Bones Association With Parietal Emissary Foramina
Background: The sutural bones and fontanelle of the skull display unique morphological characters. Sutural bones are also called supernumerary bones or ossicles or Wormian bones (WB). These are irregular and develop from the independent ossification centers present along the cranial sutures. They appear on periosteal and endosteal surfaces of the skull with variations in size, number, shape, an...

AIM The knowledge of the vasculature around the paracondylar region is important in neurosurgical procedures such as the paracondylar and lateral supracondylar approaches. The objectives of the present study were to determine the prevalence of paracondylar emissary foramina in the adult skull bases and to study the morphology of condylar canals and hypoglossal canals. MATERIAL AND METHODS The...

The identification of mastoidal emissary veins is of importance in the neurosurgical practice to diagnose abnormal and normal structures. In the present study, the objectives were to estimate the prevalence rate of mastoidal emissary foramina in the temporal bones of the adult skull and to study their number and morphology. The present study included 48 adult human skulls which were obtained fr...
متن کاملA Study of Incidence of Emissary Sphenoidal Foramen in Dry Adult Human Skull Bones
Emissary sphenoidal foramen is an inconstant foramen that gives passage to an emissary vein that connects pterygoid venous plexus with cavernous sinus, the importance of which lies in the fact that an infected thrombus from an extracranial source may reach cavernous sinus. The aim of the present study was to identify the incidence of emissary sphenoidal foramen. 100 dry adult human skulls were ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to document the morphological and topographical anatomy of the infraorbital foramen (IOF) in relation to the infraorbital rim (IOR), which is necessary in clinical situations that require regional nerve blocks. METHODS A total of 80 dry South Indian adult human skulls of unknown age and gender were studied. In each skull, the IOF on both sides was measur...
