Scope

There is an enormous amount which could be learnedabout the skull base

In the following slides I will mention some things which Ithink would help medical students pass exams

First, I will show you an intricately-labelled diagram whichI stumbled across on the internet

Please don’t learn it, it is only for amusement!

Limitations

Limitations of the models

I have put 3D models in the online PDFs for my other 3Dtutorials. Unfortunately, the skull base model is toocomplicated for conversion, therefore only the text notesare available online.

What are the openings of the skull?

Selected list page 1

One foramen magnum—cervicomedullary junction, twovertebral arteries—important for all nervous functionsunder the head

Two optic canals—optic nerve II—for vision

Two foramina ovalia—mandibular branch of trigeminalnerve V3—needle entry point for trigeminal nerveanaesthesia

Two foramina rotunda—maxillary branch of trigeminalnerve V2—numb patch on face after trauma

Two jugular foramina—sigmoid sinuses go through this tobecome the two internal jugular veins—the main venousoutflow tracts for blood from the brain
