Abstract

Objective: To conduct a morphometric study of foramen spinosum of the human sphenoid bone. Methods: The study was conducted on 35 dry human skulls available in the Department of Anatomy ,School Medical Sciences and Research ,Greater Noida , Uttar Pradesh. Variations in size ,shape and number of foramen spinosum was noted. Results : . Mean length of foramen spinosum in male was 3.31±0.84mm on left side and 3.73±0.63mm on right side. Mean length of foramen in female was 3.20±0.83mm on left side and 3.81± 0.71mm on right side. Difference between the length of right and left side and the two sexes was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Mean width of foramen spinosum in male was 1.5±0.27mm on left side and 1.8±0.41mm on right side. Mean width of foramen in female was 1.5±0.37mm on left side and 1.5± 0.24mm on right side. Difference between the width of right and left side and the two sexes was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion- Considering the immense anatomical, surgical and radiological importance of foramen spinosum,this study was worth conducting.
