Abstract
Background: The caroticoclinoid foramen is an inconstant structure, which is located in the middle cranial fossa composed by the ossification of a fibrous ligament that begins on the anterior clinoid process and binds to the middle clinoid process. Carotico-clinoid foramen allows the passage of one of the six segments of the internal carotid artery, the clinoidal segment [1]. The fibrous ossification of ligament is considered a normal physiological process. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in different medical colleges in South India. 300 skulls were collected from I MBBS students and the incidence of caroticoclinoid foramen was studied. Results: Out of 300 skulls of unknown sex, 2 skulls showed bilateral caroticoclinoid foramen and 5 skulls had unilateral caroticoclinoid foramen, the total incidence was 2.33%. Conclusion: The present study concludes that the knowledge about caroticoclinoid foramen will be helpful in brain surgeries and CT scan studies of intracranial haemorrhage.
