  • Location Borders
    MATRIC NO: 17/MHS01/132 LEVEL: 300L 1. CAVERNOUS SINUS They are large paired dural venous sinus located within the cranial cavity. Dural venous sinuses are channels between the two layers of the dura mater (external periosteal layer and inner meningeal layer) which are responsible for the venous drainage of the brain, skull, orbit and internal ear. OUTLINE LOCATION CONTENTS CLINICAL RELEVANCE LOCATION They are located on each side of the sella turcica on the upper surface of the body of the sphenoid which contains the sphenoidal sinus. The right and left sinuses communicate in the midline via the anterior and posterior intercavernous sinus. BORDERS Anteriorly: Superior orbital fissure Posteriorly: Petrous part of the temporal bone Medial: Body of the sphenoid bone Lateral: Meningeal layer of the dura mater running from roof to floor of the middle cranial fossa. Roof: Meningeal layer of the dura mater that attaches to the anterior and middle clinoid process of the sphenoid bone Floor: Endosteal layer of the dura mater that overlies the greater wing of the sphenoid bone. The cavernous sinus receives venous blood from: 1. Superior and inferior ophthalmic vein 2. Sphenoparietal sinus 3. Superficial middle cerebral vein 4. Pterygoid plexus 5. Central vein of the retina. The cavernous sinus drains into the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses and ultimately into the internal jugular vein. CONTENTS (O TOM CAT) Some important structures pass through the cavernous sinus and through its lateral walls: THROUGH IT: Carotid plexus (post-ganglionic sympathetic nerve fibres) Abducens nerve (CN VI) Internal carotid artery THROUGH THE LATERAL WALLS: Oculomotor nerve (CN III) Trochlear nerve (CN IV) Ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve (CN V1) Maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve (CN V2) NOTE: The cavernous sinus is the only sinus that offers passage to an artery (internal carotid artery); this is to allow for heat exchange between the warm arterial blood and cooler venous circulation.

Ligaments bridging the notches sometimes ossify which may lead to compression of the structures passing through foramina’s thereby they may have significant clinical signs and symptoms. Presence of carotico-clinoid foramen is the result of ossification of either carotico-clinoid ligament or of dural fold extending between anterior and middle clinoid processes of sphenoid bone. Materials and methods: The study was done in 50 adult dry human skulls collected from Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women, SVIMS, Tirupati and S.V. Medical college and S.V University (Anthropology department). Results: In 100 adult dry human skulls, 12 skulls of unknown sex showed “Ossified carotico-clinoid ligament” out of which 7 were on the left side and 5 were on right.

  • Bridges of the Sella Turcica — Anatomy and Topography
    FOLIA MEDICA CRACOVIENSIA 97 Vol. LII, 3–4, 2012: 97–101 PL ISSN 0015-5616 JANUSZ SKRZAT1, Izabela Mróz1, JUSTYNA MARCHEWKA1,2 BRIDGES OF THE SELLA TURCICA — ANATOMY AND TOPOGRAPHY Abstract: Bridges of the sella turcica — anatomy and topography This paper presents anatomy and topography of the inconstant osseous bridges that may occur in the sella turcica region. The interclinoid bridge and the caroticoclinoid bridge can be formed in con- sequence of abnormal ossification of the dural folds or disturbances in development of the sphenoid bone. Their presence may be of clinical importance because of potential influence on the neurovascular structures passing in the vicinity of the clinoid processes of the sphenoid bone. Key words: sellar bridge, sella turcica, sphenoid bone INTRODUCTION Process of ossification of cranial structures might be a natural consequence of ageing or a result of adaptation changes of the axial skeleton, although sometimes it is difficult to guess what are the real causative factors [1–3]. The folds of the dura mater (ligaments) that are attached to the clinoid processes (the anterior, the middle and the posterior) may occasionally ossify and form bony bridges of the sphenoid bone. These inconstant osseous structures may also derive from the cartilaginous tissue [4, 5]. The formation of the osseous bridges within the sellar region may also effect of disturbances in development of the sphenoid bone [4, 6]. The ligament between anterior and posterior clinoid process is known as the interclinoid ligament, and the bony connection between these processes is known as the interclinoid bridge. In turn, the anterior and middle clinoid processes may be connected by the caroticoclinoid ligament which may ossify forming a caroticoclinoid bridge.

Most textbooks describe its shape as a median rectangular plate, a square plate, or a transverse ledge on a slope behind the sella turcica (hypophyseal fossa). This work aims to study the dorsum sellae of human skull. One hundred and twenty five dried adult human skulls, irrespective of age, were used for the study. Detailed features of the dorsum sellae were noted and classified into five types: crest like, thin plate, frail quadrilateral plate, heavy square plate, thick elongated plate. Fusion of the posterior and middle clinoid processes in one (unilateral) and all the clinoid processes (anterior, middle, and posterior) in three skulls (unilateral in one, bilateral in two) were also noticed. Findings are discussed in the light of the literature. KEY WORDS: Dorsum sellae; Clinoid process; Anatomical variations; Skull. INTRODUCTION MATERAL AND METHOD The dorsum sellae is an important bony entity in The study was conducted on 125 dried human skulls the posterior cranial fossa of the human skull due to its obtained from the anatomy departments of College of Medi- close proximity and relationship with hypophyseal fossa, cine, King Khalid University, Abha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, brain stem and emerging cranial nerves.

Corresponding Author: Mustafa K. Baskaya / E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT AIM: The aim of this study was to better define the microsurgical anatomy of the supra/parasellar region and describe variations of the anterior clinoid process (ACP). MaterIAL and Methods: Fifteen formalin-fixed cadaver heads and 25 dry skulls were used to define the microsurgical anatomy of the ACP and related structures. The presence of the caroticoclinoid foramen (CaCF) as well as other relevant measurements were all noted. Radiological examination of the CaCF was also demonstrated on dry skulls. Results: Interosseous bridges, which form between the anterior and middle clinoid processes or connect all three (anterior, middle and posterior) clinoid processes, were found in 30% of the specimens. The average basal width, length and thickness of the ACP were 7.3 mm, 9.7 mm and 5.4 mm, respectively. Length of the optic nerve (ON) up to the falciform ligament (FL) was 10.9 mm; length of the ON under the FL was 2.7 mm; length of ON after removal of the ACP and unroofing the optic canal was 21.1 mm.

  • New Terminologia Anatomica: Cranium and Extracranial Bones of the Head P.P
    Folia Morphol. Vol. 80, No. 3, pp. 477–486 DOI: 10.5603/FM.a2019.0129 R E V I E W A R T I C L E Copyright © 2021 Via Medica ISSN 0015–5659 eISSN 1644–3284 journals.viamedica.pl New Terminologia Anatomica: cranium and extracranial bones of the head P.P. Chmielewski Division of Anatomy, Department of Human Morphology and Embryology, Faculty of Medicine, Wroclaw Medical University, Wroclaw, Poland [Received: 12 October 2019; Accepted: 17 November 2019; Early publication date: 3 December 2019] In 2019, the updated and extended version of Terminologia Anatomica was published by the Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology (FIPAT). This new edition uses more precise and adequate anatomical names compared to its predecessors. Nevertheless, numerous terms have been modified, which poses a challenge to those who prefer traditional anatomical names, i.e. medical students, teachers, clinicians and their instructors. Therefore, there is a need to popularise this new edition of terminology and explain these recent changes. The anatomy of the head, including the cranium, the extracranial bones of the head, the soft parts of the face and the encephalon, poses a particular challenge for medical students but also engenders enthusiasm in those of them who are astute learners. The new version of anatomical terminology concerning the human skull (FIPAT 2019) is presented and briefly discussed in this synopsis. The aim of this article is to present, popularise and explain these interesting modifications that have recently been endorsed by the FIPAT. Based on teaching experience at the Division of Anatomy/Department of Anatomy at Wroclaw Medical University, a brief description of the human skull is given here.
