contents Anomalous posterior clinoid process and its clinical importance Shipra Paul Srijit Das Medicina Anatomy Radiology Skull base Sella turcica Cavernous sinus The anterior, middle and the posterior clinoid processes are located in the middle cranial fossa of the skull. The posteriorboundary of the pituitary fossa is formed by the dorsum sellae, the supero-lateral angles of which are raised to form the posteriorclinoid process. Unlike the anterior clinoid process, the posterior clinoid process has received less attention in past research studies.The anatomy textbooks do not mention about the anomalies pertaining to the posterior clinoid process and the main source ofinformation are the research reports. The present osteological study describes anomalous posterior clinoid process, detected intwo human skulls, during routine undergraduate medical teaching and also discusses its clinical importance. The posterior clinoidprocess anomalies may be responsible for the altered arrangement of the tentorium cerebelli which is attached to it. The internalcarotid artery is often explored by the neuro-surgeon and any bony abnormalities in its vicinity, would result in a difficult situation,while performing clinoidectomy operations. Anomalous posterior clinoid process, may compress the internal carotid artery. Theclose position of the superior petrosal sinus and the internal carotid artery to the posterior clinoid process, makes it vulnerable toinjuries and thus it is important for the neuro-surgeons performing clinoidectomy operations. The anatomy of the posterior clinoidprocess may be important for neuro surgeons and radiologists in day to day clinical practice. 2007 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28338315 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.38
