Nonmetric analysis of caroticoclinoid foramen in foothills of Himalayas: Its clinicoanatomic perspective.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
Study was conducted to evaluate the incidence of caroticoclinoid foramen in north Indian population. Authors have also endeavoured to discuss its clinical and embryological implications.


MATERIALS AND METHODS
Study was conducted on 108 dry human skulls in department of anatomy SGRR medical college, Dehradun. Incidence of caroticoclinoid foramen was evaluated in accordance with side.


RESULTS
A percentage of 22.22 skulls presented with the caroticoclinoid foramen with maximum incidence of unilateral and incomplete type. Incidence revealed no bias towards side.


CONCLUSION
Anatomical knowledge about CCF may be helpful to radiologists and neurosurgeons in providing an additional insight into the diagnosis and management of various pathologies around sellar region.
