All the scroll-like conchae project into the lateral walls of the nasal cavity. Hard palate (“roof of mouth”) is composed of 2 palatine processes of the maxillae and the 2 palatine bones (total of 4 fused bones). Fetal and newborn skull contains 1 anterior (frontal) fontanel; 1 posterior (occipital) fontanel; 2 anterolateral (sphenoidal) fontanels (1 on each side); 2 posterolateral (mastoid) fontanels (1 on each side) Main sutures in the skull are the coronal (joins frontal and parietal bones); sagittal (joins parietal bones); lambdoid (joins both parietal bones with the occipital bone); and 2 squamous sutures (each joins the temporal and parietal bones on either side of skull) Axial Skeleton (Cont’d) Hyoid Bone Greater horns Lesser horns Body Vertebral Column (26 vertebrae) Cervical vertebrae (7) Thoracic vertebrae (12) Lumbar vertebrae (5) Sacrum (1 consisting of 5 fused sacral vertebrae) Coccyx (1 consisting of 4 fused coccygeal vertebrae) 4 normal curvatures – cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral Intervertebral disc between each unfused vertebra consists of an annulus fibrosus (fibrocartilage) surrounding a nucleus pulposus (soft, spongy elastic tissue) A typical cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebra consists of a body vertebral arch formed by 2 posterior laminae fused with 2 anterior pedicles 2 transverse processes 2 superior articular processes with facets 2 inferior articular processes with facets spinous process vertebral foramen (of all vertebrae form vertebral canal) vertebral notches (superior and inferior stacked form intervertebral foramina) CERVICAL vertebrae in general have bifid spinous processes (except C1 &C7) and transverse foramina. The first cervical vertebra is the atlas which lacks a body and spinous process. It is a ring of bone consisting of anterior and posterior arches and large lateral masses which contain superior and inferior articular facets, transverse processes containing transverse foramina and a vertebral foramen. The second cervical vertebra is the axis which has a body containing the dens (odontoid process), transverse foramina in transverse processes as well as all other features of a typical vertebra. The seventh cervical vertebra has a vertebra prominens in place of the bifid spinous process, transverse foramina in transverse processes as well as all other features of a typical vertebra. THORACIC vertebrae in general are larger and stronger than cervical vertebrae and have spinous processes which are long, laterally flattened, and directed inferiorly. In addition, T 1-10 have facets in the transverse processes for articulating with the tubercles of ribs. All bodies of thoracic vertebrae have either facets or demifacets for articulating with the heads of ribs (you do not need to know which ones have facets and/or demifacets). LUMBAR vertebrae are the largest and strongest unfused vertebrae and have large thick spinous processes. The superior articular processes are directed medially and the inferior articular processes are directed laterally.

Space-occupying lesions in this area can result in clinical d- eficits caused by compression of the optic nerve or extraocular muscles. Even vas c u l a r changes in the cavernous sinus can produce a direct mass effect and affect the orbit ap e x. When pathologic changes in this region is suspected, contrast-enhanced MR imaging with fat saturation is very useful. According to the anatomic regions from which the lesions arise, they can be classi- fied as belonging to one of five groups; lesions of the optic nerve-sheath complex, of the conal and intraconal spaces, of the extraconal space and bony orbit, of the cav- ernous sinus or diffuse.

    The Morphometric Study of Occurrence and Variations of Foramen Ovale S

    Research Article The morphometric study of occurrence and variations of foramen ovale S. Ajrish George*, M. S. Thenmozhi ABSTRACT Background: Foramen vale is one of the important foramina present in the sphenoid bone. Anatomically it is located in the greater wing of the sphenoid bone. The foramen ovale is situated posterolateral to the foramen rotundum and anteromedial to the foramen spinosum. The foramen spinosum is present posterior to the foramen ovale. The carotid canal is present posterior and medial to the foramen spinosum and the foramen rotundum is present anterior to the foramen ovale. The structures which pass through the foramen ovale are the mandibular nerve, emissary vein, accessory middle meningeal artery, and lesser petrosal nerve. The sphenoid bone has a body, a pair of greater wing, pair of lesser wing, pair of lateral pterygoid plate, and a pair of medial pterygoid plate. Aim: The study involves the assessment of any additional features in foramen ovale in dry South Indian skulls. Materials and Methods: This study involves examination of dry adult skulls. First, the foramen ovale is located, and then it is carefully examined for presence of alterations and additional features, and is recorded following computing the data and analyzing it. Results: The maximum length of foramen ovale on the right and left was 10.1 mm, 4.3 mm, respectively. The minimum length of the foramen in right and left was 9.1 mm, 3.2 mm, respectively. The maximum width of foramen ovale on the right and left was 4.8 mm and 2.3 mm, respectively. The minimum width of the foramen in the right and the left side was 5.7 mm and 2.9 mm, respectively.

The following bony prominences can usually be palpated in the living subject (corresponding vertebral levels are given in brackets): •◊◊superior angle of the scapula (T2); •◊◊upper border of the manubrium sterni, the suprasternal notch (T2/3); •◊◊spine of the scapula (T3); •◊◊sternal angle (of Louis) — the transverse ridge at the manubrio-sternal junction (T4/5); •◊◊inferior angle of scapula (T8); •◊◊xiphisternal joint (T9); •◊◊lowest part of costal margin—10th rib (the subcostal line passes through L3). Note from Fig. 1 that the manubrium corresponds to the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae and overlies the aortic arch, and that the sternum corre- sponds to the 5th to 8th vertebrae and neatly overlies the heart. Since the 1st and 12th ribs are difficult to feel, the ribs should be enu- merated from the 2nd costal cartilage, which articulates with the sternum at the angle of Louis. The spinous processes of all the thoracic vertebrae can be palpated in the midline posteriorly, but it should be remembered that the first spinous process that can be felt is that of C7 (the vertebra prominens). The position of the nipple varies considerably in the female, but in the male it usually lies in the 4th intercostal space about 4in (10cm) from the midline.

    Chapter 21 Fractures of the Upper Thoracic Spine: Approaches and Surgical Management

    Chapter 21 Fractures of the Upper Thoracic Spine: Approaches and Surgical Management Sean D Christie, M.D., John Song, M.D., and Richard G Fessler, M.D., Ph.D. INTRODUCTION Fractures occurring in the thoracic region account for approximately 17 to 23% of all traumatic spinal fractures (1), with 22% of traumatic spinal fractures occurring between T1 and T4 (16). More than half of these fractures result in neurological injury, and almost three-quarters of those impaired suffer from complete paralysis. Obtaining surgical access to the anterior vertebral elements of the upper thoracic vertebrae (T1–T6) presents a unique anatomic challenge. The thoracic cage, which narrows significantly as it approaches the thoracic inlet, has an intimate association between the vertebral column and the superior mediastinal structures. The supraclavicular, transmanubrial, transthoracic, and lateral parascapular extrapleural approaches each provide access to the anterior vertebral elements of the upper thoracic vertebrae. However, each of these approaches has distinct advantages and disadvantages and their use should be tailored to each individual patient’s situation. This chapter reviews these surgical approaches. Traditional posterior approaches are illustrated in Figure 21.1, but will not be discussed in depth here. ANATOMIC CONSIDERATIONS AND STABILITY The upper thoracic spine possesses unique anatomic and biomechanical properties. The anterior aspects of the vertebral bodies are smaller than the posterior aspects, which contribute to the physiological kyphosis present in this region of the spine. Furthermore, this orientation results in a ventrally positioned axis of rotation, predisposing this region to compression injuries. The combination and interaction of the vertebral bodies, ribs, and sternum increase the inherent biomechanical stability of this segment of the spine to 2 to 3 times that of the thoracolumbar junction.
