Emissary Foramens of the Human Skull: Anatomical Characteristics and its Relations with Clinical Neurosurgery

The recognition of emissary foramens is important not only for understanding the regional neurovascular anatomy, but also to distinguish normal from potentially abnormal structures. Thus, the aim of this study was to review the literature on anatomical and clinical aspects of the mastoid, parietal a...
