Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The parietal foramen is a symmetrical oval opening for the parietal emissary vein, which drains into the superior sagittal sinus. The parietal emissary vein passes through the parietal foramen and occasionally a small part of the occipital artery is also observed along with the parietal emissary vein. MATERIALS AND METHOD: An observational study was carried out on 35 dry adult human skulls which were used from the Department of Anatomy, Saveetha Dental College, Chennai, India, to study the morphometry of parietal emissary foramen. RESULT: The total presence of the parietal emissary foramina was seen in 32 skulls (91.4%) The bilateral presence of the parietal emissary foramina was 14(40%), the unilateral (right) presence was found to be 9 (25.7%), the unilateral (left) presence was found to be 7(20%) and the presence of the parietal emissary foramina on the sagittal suture was found to be 1 (2.8%). There were 3 skulls (8.5%) which showed no presence of the parietal emissary foramen. CONCLUSION: The identification of parietal emissary veins and accessory veins is important in the operation room to prevent the blood loss and during the surgical procedures and the clinical examination the possibility of an enlarged parietal foramen should be kept in mind.
