The Jugular Foramen: Compartmentalisation

Abstract

The study was designed to measure the diameters of jugular foramen and correlates the measurements with clinical importance. The bony bridging of the jugular foramen is established by the contact of the intrajugular process of the temporal bone with the bony process of the occipital bone projecting either from just above the hypoglossal canal or from posterior to the hypoglossal canal. If both the processes of the occipital bone reach the intrajugular process of the temporal bone simultaneously, it is divided into three compartments. As observed during the study, a lot of variation in measurements of jugular foramen was seen. Even among Indians there was difference noted, so the operating surgeon should keep in mind the differences in measurements.

Navigation of a compartmentalized robot system

“…Robots perform jobs that are too dirty, dangerous or dull to be suitable for humans [3] . They are universally employed in areas such as mass production [4] , assembling [5] , packaging [6] , transport [7] , rescue [8] , earth and space study [9] , medical [10] , and field artillery [11] . There has been a lot of work carried out on improvements of the robotic performance.…”
