Morphometric analysis of Foramen ovale
نویسندگان
چکیده
The foramen ovale is a very circular looking hole that is located in the posterior part of the sphenoid bone, structures passing through it mandibular nerve, accessory meningeal artery, lasser petrosal nerve, emissary vein. The foramen ovale differs in shape and size, in present study we have studied about morphometric values of like mean length, width and area. The total 125(250 sides) skulls were used for this study , the result were on left side was 7.98+1.89mm, the mean width was 5.88+1.01mm, the mean area was 32.08+9.08mm and on right side the mean length was 8.14+1.42mm, the mean width was 5.26+0.93mm, the area was 31.56+9.82mm. we also observed some variations in shape of foramen ovale the results were oval was 62.80%, almond shape was 23.20%, round was 11.81% and irregular were 2.19%. The knowledge of foramen ovale very helpfull for neurosurgeons.
