Foramen spinosum, sphenoid bone, middle meningeal artery, middle meningeal vein.

AIM: To conduct a study on foramen spinosum in human sphenoid bone of 50 skulls of South Indian Origin. OBJECTIVE: To determine the exact size of the foramen spinosum in 50 dry human skulls, on the extra cranial view and in the middle cranial fossa. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study will be conducted on 50 dry human skulls of South Indian origin. The skulls used for the research belong to the department of Anatomy in Saveetha Dental College. The foramen were measured using a pair of dividers and a ruler. RESULT: 88% of the foramen lying on the right side are of the sizes between 2.0 and 3.0mm in length.Whereas, only 12% of the foramen on the right side are of the sizes between 3.1 to 3.5mm in length. 76% of the foramen lying on the left side are of sizes between 2.0 and 3.0mm. And only 24% of the foramen lying on the left side are of sizes between 3.1 and 3.5mm. Only one foramen on the right side was of size 4.0 mm, while no foramen on the left side was 4.0 mm.
