Anatomical Study of the Pterygospinous and Pterygoalar Bony Bridges and Foramens in Dried Crania and its Clinical Relevance
The ossification of the intrinsic ligaments of the sphenoid bone has been reported in the literature. The presence of bony bridges by ossification of the pterygospinous and pterygoalar ligaments has clinical significance in the infratemporal fossa contents. The purpose of this study is to analyze th...
