Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The Carotico-clinoid foramen is an inconstant structure which is formed by the union of the anterior and middle clinoid processes by a ligament known as the carotico-clinoid ligament which may be ossified Aim: The present study is to know the prevalence of carotico-clinoid foramen in dry skulls available in Anatomy department of Medical Colleges in Jammu & Kashmir. Methodology: For the present study, dry unknown human skulls were collected in the Department of Anatomy, Of Government Medical College, Jammu & SKIMS Medical College. The carotico-clinoid foramen was studied in dry human skulls and was observed for various parameters like complete or incomplete, unilateral or bilateral. Results: The Study was done on 50 Skulls and carotico-clinoid foramen was found in 5 skull bones (10%). Complete bilateral /unilateral foramen was not found in any Skull,three on the right side and two on the left side. Variations in the anterior clinoid process (ACP) other than ossific. The ossified carotico-clinoid ligament (CCL) may have compressive effects on the internal carotid artery. Conclusion: Thus anatomical knowledge of clinoid space is of utmost importance for a neurosurgeon/ENT Surgeon approaching the internal carotid artery or other skull based surgery. Excision of the clinoid process may be required for many skull based surgical procedures and the presence of any anomalies such as ossification of ligaments in that area may pose a problem for Head/neck surgeons.
