Topic:- A study on anatomical variations of anterior clinoid process and caroticoclinoid foramen. Aim & objective:- To conduct a study on anatomical variations of anterior clinoid process and caroticoclinoid foramen. Background:- Anterior clinoid process is the posteriorly directed projection that is medial to the lesser wing of sphenoid.It provides attachment for the free edge of the tentoriumcerebelli. The caroticoclinoid foramen is an inconstant structure which connects the anterior and middle clinoid process composed by the ossification of the fibrous ligament that begins on the anterior clinoid process and binds to the middle clinoid process. Reason:- There are many reports regarding safe surgical procedures of anterior clinoidectomy but few about their anatomical variations. Hence the present investigations were planned to study any variations in the anteriorclinoid process ,incidence of caroticoclinoid foramen that will provide a guide for neurosurgeons in surgical approach of the sellar region.
