“…The internal jugular veins mainly receive venous blood returning from the sigmoid sinus and the larger cross-sectional area of the right internal jugular vein may be the continuation effect of this developmental advantage. However, no obvious right-sided dominance of the jugular foramen was found in anatomical observations of the fetal skull base [ 24 ]. It is possible that the wall of the internal jugular veins is elastic and can easily expand, however, the jugular foramen is a bony structure and difficult to change.…”

Background At present, there is a lack of normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) morphometric reference values for fetal internal jugular veins during middle and late pregnancy. Objective We used MRI to assess the morphology and cross-sectional area of the internal jugular veins of fetuses during middle and late pregnancy and to explore the clinical value of these parameters. Materials and methods The MRI images of 126 fetuses in middle and late pregnancy were retrospectively analysed to determine the optimal sequence for imaging the internal jugular veins. Morphological observation of the fetal internal jugular veins in each gestational week was carried out, lumen cross-sectional area was measured and the relationship between these data and gestational age was analysed. Results The balanced steady-state free precession sequence was superior to other MRI sequences used for fetal imaging. The cross section of fetal internal jugular veins was predominantly circular in both the middle and late stages of pregnancy, however the prevalence of an oval cross section was significantly higher in the late gestational age group. The cross-sectional area of the lumen of the fetal internal jugular veins increased with increasing gestational age. Fetal jugular vein asymmetry was common, with the right jugular vein being dominant in the high gestational age group. Conclusion We provide normal reference values for fetal internal jugular veins measured by MRI. These values may form the basis for clinical assessment of abnormal dilation or stenosis.

“…Ультразвуковое сканирование является самым распространенным способом изучения внутриутробного развития плода, что связано с безопасностью, информативностью, возможностью ранней диагностики пороков развития [3,4]. Врожденные пороки, как правило, являются причиной перинатальной и младенческой смертности, а также приводят к росту инвалидизации детей [3].…”

This study aims to reveal morphometric properties of the clivus including length, width and angle to the base of the skull from the perspective of skull base procedures. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four human dry skulls were included in the inventory of Mersin University Medical Faculty Anatomy Department. Direct anatomic measurements (DAM) were performed using digital caliper and digital image analysis software. Radiological analysis was performed using computed tomography (CT). Results: The length and inner surface area of the clivus for DAM and CT were 25.17±3.98/24.83±3.91 mm and 546.51±66.44/523.37±87.48 mm 2 , respectively. Clival angle (Welcher angle) for DAM and CT was 126.12±9.51°/124.37±10.86°. No statistically significant difference was found between the numerical data obtained by DAM and CT (p>0.05). Conclusion: Considering that clivus anomalies are associated with diseases such as platybasia, basilar invagination, CHARGE syndrome or Chiari type I, the data of the present study can be used for the detection of clivus anomalies as well as choosing the type of approach to the skull base.

The Measurement of Various Anatomical Structures and Assessment of Morphometric Development of Fetal Skull Base

Abstract: There is a debate on asymmetry of foramina of the skull base. No certain consensus about the initiation time and the causes of asymmetry in the past was documented. Studies are to be encouraged to further enlighten pre-postnatal factors affecting the fetal skull base morphometrism.
