The Morphological Stenosis Pattern of the Caroticoclinoid Foramen [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground: The caroticoclinoid bar (CCB) or caroticoclinoid foramen (CCF) represents a well-described ossified variant of the skull base. It corresponds to an osseous bridge (resulting after homonymous ligament ossification) between the anterior and ...

Prevalence and Morphology of Ossified Caroticoclinoid Ligament: An Updated Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground: The caroticoclinoid ligament (CCL) is between the anterior and middle clinoid processes. The ligament can be variably ossified, creating the caroticoclinoid bar or foramen (CCF). When this variant occurs, it encircles the clinoidal segment of

CT evaluation of the relationship between optic canal, anterior clinoid process, optic strut, caroticoclinoid foramen, and dimensions of sella turcica based on sphenoid sinus pneumatization patterns [PDF]
BMC Medical ImagingBackground Studies reported that sphenoid sinus pneumatization (SSP) affects paraclinoid structures, including the optic canal (OC), the anterior clinoid process (ACP), the optic strut (OS), and the sella turcica (ST).

Osseous Bridges of the Sphenoid Bone: Frequency, Bilateral and Sex Distribution [PDF]
Biology, 2023 Sellar (caroticoclinoid and interclinoid), pterygospinous and pterygoalar bridges are osseous bars of the sphenoid bone, which enclose additional foramina in the skull base and could cause entrapment of nerves, occlusion of vessels and obstruction of ...

The Developing Human Sphenoid Bone: Linking Embryological Development to Adult Morphology [PDF]
BiologyThe human sphenoid bone (SB), centrally located at the cranial base, is structurally and developmentally complex. It arises from multiple cartilaginous precursors and undergoes both endochondral and intramembranous ossification, forming essential ...
