BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The position of mental foramen varies in different ethnic groups. The position of mental foramen is mainly important for achieving effective mental nerve block to carry out dental surgical procedures in mandible. Deviation in its position can be a cause of complication during local anesthesia or surgical procedures. The position of the mental foramen in South Indian an...

Background Nutrient foramen is an opening into shaft of humerus which gives passage to the blood vessels of medullary cavity. The knowledge of nutrient foramen is important in surgical procedures like bone grafting and more recently in microsurgical vascularized bone transplantation. Objective To determine the number, location and direction of nutrient foramen and whether the nutrient foramens ...

Four cases of choroid plexus papilloma extending through the foramen of Monro are presented. All four patients were evaluated by contrast-enhanced CT and two of these were also evaluated by neurosonography. No other intraventricular tumor commonly extends through a ventricular outlet. The radiographic demonstration of this extension of an intraventricular mass through the foramen of Monro, cere...

We observed that the mobilization of the nerves II, III, VI, VIII, and XII were not easy comparing to other cranial nerves. The subfrontal parenchymal tissue should be removed and the olfactory nerve should be dissected for mobilization of the first cranial nerve. The mobilization of the nerves IV, V, VII, IX, and XI were dramatically remarkable after drilling of superior orbital fissure, foram...

BACKGROUND Knowledge regarding nutrient foramina of bones is useful in surgical procedures such as microvascular bone transfer in order to preserve the circulation. The objective of the present study was to study the morphology and topography of nutrient foramina and to determine the foraminal index of the lower limb long bones to provide detailed data on such features. METHOD The study compr...

Objective: 3-dimensional radiographic evaluation of the intraforaminal area are crucial to prevent complications during surgical procedures. This study aimed retrospectively determine incidence different shapes foramen, and presence anterior loop with aid cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
 Materials Methods: retrospective was performed on 176 patients whose CBCT images indicated were u...

We describe a patient admitted to the intensive care unit with aphasia, which was due to an embolic ischaemic cerebral stroke associated with a previously unknown patent foramen ovale. Eventually, this finding during echocardiography led us to the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The thrombotic complications of pancreatic cancer, in combination with a large, patent foramen ovale, support the mec...

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 ...

AIM The aim of this study is to assess and locate the Foramen of Huschke. STUDY DESIGN Anatomical. MATERIAL AND METHOD Using contrast material like gutta-percha and barium sulfate, through extraoral radiographs, such as panoramic, submental vertex and corrected sagittal linear Temporal Mandibular Joint tomograms in four skulls where we clinically checked the existence of foramen of Huschke....
