“…5 In the literature, variations such as absence, small size, or duplication of the foramen spinosum have been reported to be rare. [7][8][9] Khan et al 7 reported that the foramen spinosum was absent in 0.4% of cases and stated that the middle meningeal artery may arise from the ophthalmic artery in these cases. In rare cases, the foramen spinosum may be small.…”

The foramen spinosum, one of the important openings at the base of the cranium, is the opening through which the middle meningeal artery enters the cranium. The variations of the foramen spinosum should be well known to be an important landmark in middle fossa surgeries and to understand better the clinical conditions related to the middle meningeal artery passing through it. A total of 35 bones (32 cranial base and 3 separate sphenoid bones) of individuals of unknown age, sex, and ethnicity in the Laboratory of the Department of Anatomy, Gaziantep University, Faculty of Medicine were examined bilaterally in this study. One of the 35 bones was found to have a duplicated foramen spinosum on the left side and an absence foramen spinosum on the right side. Foramen spinosum variations should be considered in middle fossa approaches and procedures involving the middle meningeal artery.

“…FS sphenoid kemiğin ala major bölgesinde yer alan, fossa crani media ile fossa infratemporalis arasındaki bağlantıyı sağlayan yapılardan bir tanesidir 3 . Duplike olması, unilateral veya bilateral eksikliği, gibi varyasyonlarının yanı sıra bilateral simetri durumu, uzunluğu, genişliği, alanı ve çevresi gibi parametreler de oldukça önemlidir 7 .

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the morphometric properties of Foramen spinosum (FS) according to the other studies in the literature by including various parameters such as measuring the number of bones, area, and circumference.Material and Method: 98 cranium and 35 basis crani were used in the study. The normal basilaris regions of cranium and basis crani are photographed by placing a metric close to the FS. Parameters of the FS, such as length (SU), width (SG), area (SA), and circumference (SC) were measured photogrammetrically on the Image J software program.Results: In the study, the difference between the right and left values of the SU, SG, SA, and SC measurements and the correlation were calculated. When the parameters of the right and left sides were evaluated statistically, no significant difference was observed (p>0.05). The weakest correlation is between the circumference measurement of the left side and the length of the right side. There is a strong correlation between the length of the left side and the width of the left side. Conclusion:Measurement and morphological properties of the FS are essential in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to A. meningea media, which is a crucial vessel passing through the FS. Also, these anatomical measurements can shed light on radiological studies and may even be supported by radiological studies.

Angular Relationship Between the Foramen Ovale and the Trigeminal Impression

The debilitating pain of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) often necessitates neurosurgical intervention via percutaneous transovale cannulation. While most percutaneous treatments of TN are successful, severe adverse events resulting from failure to properly cannulate the foramen ovale (FO) have been reported. With regard to specific targeting of particular trigeminal divisions (i.e. V1, V2, V3, and combinations thereof), operative techniques have been described; however, these descriptions have not included specific angulation data. This anatomical study analyzed the angular relationship between the centroid and anteromedial- and posterolateral-most aspects of the FO and the boundaries of the trigeminal impression. The study is the first to detail the angular relationship between the FO boundaries and the boundaries of the trigeminal impression in dry human skulls relative to the coronal plane. The information may be used to prevent miscannulation and also target specific branches of the trigeminal nerve for optimal operative results.
