2024年8月29日 · The ethmoid bone in particular contains the main foramina (openings that transmit vessels and nerves) of the anterior cranial fossa. The cribriform plate is a sheet of bone seen either side of the crista galli which contains numerous small foramina – these transmit olfactory nerve fibres (CN I) into the nasal cavity .

2023年8月10日 · There are only two foramina to mention in the anterior cranial fossa, but one is a group of foramina associated with the first of the cranial nerves we will be mentioning. Foramen caecum (or cecum): Is the most anterior of the holes in the floor of the skull. It lies in the frontal bone, just anterior to the ethmoid bone.

The paired anterior ethmoidal foramen connects the anterior cranial fossa with each orbit and transmits the anterior ethmoidal artery, nerve and vein. The cribriform foramina are the openings in the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone, which connect the anterior cranial fossa with the nasal cavity and transmit the olfactory nerves.

2023年1月16日 · These foramina allow the passage of axons of the olfactory nerve from the olfactory epithelium of the nose into the anterior cranial fossa where they communicate with the olfactory bulb. The optic canal permits the passage of the optic nerve (CN II) and the ophthalmic artery into the bony orbit.

2024年7月26日 · The anterior cranial fossa constitutes the floor of the cranial vault which houses the frontal lobes of the brain. Structures present in the midline of the anterior cranial fossa from anterior to posterior are:

2019年2月2日 · The human skull has numerous openings (foramina), that enable cranial nerves and blood vessels to exit the skull and supply various structures. These openings are collectively referred to as the cranial foramina. The cranial cavity floor is divided into three distinct recesses: the anterior fossa, middle fossa and, posterior fossa.

2023年4月3日 · The cranial foramina are best categorized according to their anatomical position within the cranial cavity floor. There are three distinct sections of the cranial fossae: anterior, middle, and posterior. Each of these regions contains a network of structures that are essential for day-to-day functioning. Anterior fossa

In this review, we describe the anatomy of the cranial nerve foramina of the anterior and middle fossa (highlighted in blue and green, respectively, in Figure 1) in terms of locations within the skull, shapes, dimensions, crucial surrounding structures, and any documented variations.

The anterior fossa is formed from the frontal bone anteriorly, the ethmoid bone in the midline and the body and the lesser wings of the sphenoid bone posteriorly (Figure 2). Two skull foramina located in the anterior fossa: Foramen caecum; Foramen of the cribriform plate
