Co-existence of Bilateral Caroticoclenoid Foramen with Bilateral Absence of Mental Foramen in an Adult Human Skull ; An Extremely Rare Variation
نویسنده
چکیده
Descriptive skull anatomy and morphological variations occurring in its important foramina have a profound effect on the development of modern neurosurgery. Variations in skull foramina usually occur in the form of duplication, multiplication and partial or complete absence. This case report describes two extremely rare foramen variations occurring simultaneously in a dry human skull; presence of bilateral caroticoclenoid foramen and bilateral absence of the mental foramen.

The human skull is a complex structure, which at birth is made up of 44 separate bony elements. Gross skull morphology and variations occurring in its important foramina (anomalous presence, absence, agenesis or multiplication) represent an interesting field of research, in order to achieve better comprehension of the embryological development of cranio-facial skeleton and the fate of its neuro...

Bilateral ophthalmic origin of the middle meningeal artery with an unilateral absence of foramen spinosum has not yet been described. We report on a skull with endocranial meningeal grooves indicating bilateral ophthalmic origin of the middle meningeal artery, however, its branches were normal both in their position and distribution. In addition, a rare venous sinus variation was present unilat...
متن کاملBilateral absence of mental foramen – a rare variation
The mental foramen is described in literature as an oval or circular opening on the anterior surface of the mandible, usually below the apex of the first or second premolar or between the first and second premolars. The inferior alveolar nerve and artery enter the mandibular foramen and after traveling through the body, exit at the mental foramen as the mental nerve and vessels. These nerves pr...

Introduction: Tessier facial cleft is among the rarest facial clefts reported in literatures and there are many issues arguing about its multidisciplinary repairing techniques. Tessier number 4 and 5 are extremely rare facial anomalies. There are few literatures describing these clefts and their surgical modalities. Number 5 Tessier cleft begins medial to oral commissure in the upper lip and ex...
