. A study on anatomical variations of anterior clinoid process and
caroticoclinoid foramen. Aim & objective:- To conduct a study on anatomical
variations of anterior clinoid process and caroticoclinoid foramen.
Background:- Anterior clinoid process is the posteriorly directed projection
that is medial to the lesser wing of sphenoid.It provides attachment for the
free edge of the tentoriumcerebelli. The caroticoclinoid foramen is an
inconstant structure which connects the anterior and middle clinoid process
composed by the ossification of the fibrous ligament that begins on the
anterior clinoid process and binds to the middle clinoid process. Reason:-
There are many reports regarding safe surgical procedures of anterior
clinoidectomy but few about their anatomical variations. Hence the present
investigations were planned to study any variations in the anteriorclinoid
process ,incidence of caroticoclinoid foramen that will provide a guide for
neurosurgeons in surgical approach of the sellar region. - See more at:
