  • 1 1 Foramina of Skull
    FORAMINA OF SKULL: PART ONE © 2019zillmusom The skull is rigidly structured to protect the brain but has many foramina (openings) for passage of nerves (nn.), arteries (aa.) and veins (vv.); knowledge of the foramina of the skull is ESSENTIAL to understanding head and neck anatomy. The foramina are listed below according to how one can view them on a skull. Each entry indicates the bone the foramen is in, the areas it connects and structures that pass through it; many foramina are doubly listed as they can be seen from the inside or outside of the skull. I. FACE 1. Supraorbital notch or foramen - in frontal bone; connects orbit and forehead; contains Supraorbital n., a. and v. 2. Infraorbital foramen - in maxillary bone; connects orbit and face; contains Infraorbital n., a. and v. 3. Mental foramen - in mandible; connects mandibular canal to face; contains Mental n., a. and v. II. CALVARIUM AND CRANIAL VAULT 1. Parietal foramen - in parietal bone on either side of sagittal suture; connects; diploe in bone to scalp; contains Emissary veins. III. INTERIOR OF SKULL 1. Olfactory foramen - located in cribriform plate of ethmoid bone in anterior cranial fossa; connects anterior cranial fossa and nasal cavity; contains branches of Olfactory nerve (fila olfactoria) (I). 2. Optic foramen and canal - located at base of Lesser wing of sphenoid bone in middle cranial fossa; connects middle cranial fossa to orbit; contains Optic nerve (II) and Ophthalmic artery. 3. Superior Orbital fissure - located between Greater and Lesser wings of Sphenoid bone in Middle Cranial fossa; connects middle cranial fossa and orbit; contains Oculomotor (III), Trochlear (IV), Abducens (VI) nerves and Ophthalmic division of Trigeminal nerve (V1) and Ophthalmic veins.

  • New Detailed Description of the Anterior Part of the Cribriform Plate Using Anatomic Specimens and Computed Tomography
    Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy (2019) 41:801–808 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00276-019-02220-z ORIGINAL ARTICLE New detailed description of the anterior part of the cribriform plate using anatomic specimens and computed tomography Clément Escalard1 · Lise‑Marie Roussel2 · Michèle Hamon1 · Apolline Kazemi3 · Vincent Patron2 · Martin Hitier2,4,5 Received: 20 December 2018 / Accepted: 11 March 2019 / Published online: 21 March 2019 © Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose Ethmoidal slit (ES) and cribroethmoidal foramen (CF) have been poorly studied, without any radiological descrip- tion. They may ease cribriform plate’s diseases. The objective was to describe the frequency, size, and computed tomography (CT) appearance of these foramina. Methods A two-part anatomoradiological study was performed: first on dry skulls using a surgical microscope and CT, second on patients CT scans. For each, foramina were searched for, described, and measured when possible. Results Thirteen dry macerated skulls were studied. The orbitomeatal plane was relevant for studying ES. With microscope, ES and CF were identified in, respectively, 92% and 100% of cases. Using CT, all ES and CF were visible, with a mean length and width of, respectively, 3.9 ± 1.7 mm and 0.9 ± 0.3 mm for ES and 1.6 ± 1 mm and 0.9 ± 0.3 mm for CF. CT scans from 153 patients were reviewed. ES and CF were identified in, respectively, 80% and 91% of cases, with a mean length and width of, respectively, 3.9 ± 0.8 mm and 0.8 ± 0.2 mm for ES. Conclusion Large-sized ES was found frequently, and were clearly visible in patients CT scans.

The next succeeding four layers are alternating nuclear and molecular layers, called outer and inner, from their relative positions. They consist of strata of clear nucleated corpuscles or granules, modified in each layer so as to offer some peculiarities, and embedded in the retinal connective tissue. They are severally connected by upward and downward prolongations, the outer nuclear layer with the rods and cones as above stated, whereas the inner molecular layer joins the seventh or ganglionic layer.

  • Anatomy of Skull by : Dr
    Anatomy of skull By : Dr. Hassna B. Jawad At the end of the lecture you should be able to: • Identify basic anatomical features of the skull • recognize different bones of skull • Identify outer bony features of each bone of the skull The human skull is the bony structure that forms the head in the human skeleton. It supports the structures of the face and forms a cavity for the brain. The skull consists of two parts: 1. Neurocranium : cranial bones (braincase) form the protective cranial cavity that surrounds and houses the brain and brainstem. 2. Viscerocranium ( facial bones ):formed by bones supporting the face. Except for the mandible, all of the bones of the skull are joined by synarthrodial (immovable) joints . Sometimes there can be extra bone pieces within the suture known as sutural bones. The human skull is consisted of 22 bones 8 cranial bones and14 facial skeleton bones. Cranial bones : 2 temporal bones, 2 parietal bones, 1occipital ,1 sphenoid, 1ethmoid and 1 frontal bones. Facial bones, 2 nasal conchae, 2 nasal bones, 2 maxilla, 2 palatine bones, 2 zygomatic bones, 2lacrimal bones , 1 vomer and 1 mandible. In the cranial bones, the layers of compact tissue are known as the tables of the skull; the outer one is thick and tough; the inner is thin, dense, and brittle, and hence is termed the vitreous (glass-like) table. 1 Anatomy of skull By : Dr. Hassna B. Jawad These bones are enclosing between a cancellous bone called the diploë, and this, in the nasal region of the skull, becomes absorbed so as to leave spaces filled with air–the paranasal sinuses between the two tables.
