Abstract
Background: many of neurosurgical procedures need to know knowledge about shape size of foramen ovale for various surgical processes such as blocking of mandibular nerve .
Objectives: to determine diameter of foramen ovale along with its shape and accessory bony projection.
Material and Methods: The present study was conducted using 100 dried skulls of both unknown sexes. Shape of foramen ovale with any accessory bony projection was measured. All the metric and non metric parameter was measured with Vernier calliper.
Results: The mean length of foramen ovale was were 6.8 ± 1.5 mm on right side and 6.55 ± 1.36 mm on left side. Mean width was 3.55 ± 0.76 mm on right side and 4.4 ± 0.81 mm on left side. Most common shape was ovale.
Conclusion: Morphometric knowledge will be very useful in neurosurgical procedures such as administration of anesthesia for blocking of mandibular nerve.
Keywords: Foramen Ovale, Percutaneous trigeminal rizotomy, Trigeminal neuralgia.
