foramen spinosum การใช้

Jacob Winslow is credited with first documenting the existence of the foramen spinosum.
The foramen spinosum is often used as a landmark in neurosurgery, due to its close relations with other cranial foramina.
It accompanies the middle meningeal artery and vein as the artery and vein enter the cranium through the foramen spinosum and supplies the dura mater.
It is pierced by the foramen ovale and foramen spinosum, and at its posterior part is the sphenoidal spine, which is frequently grooved on its medial surface for the chorda tympani nerve.
The earliest perfect ring-shaped formation of the foramen spinosum was observed in the eighth month after birth and the latest seven years after birth in a developmental study of the foramen rotundum, foramen ovale and foramen spinosum.
