Anatomic Study of Localization of Foramen Ovale, Carotid Canal, Jugular Foramen Using Henle’s Spine as Surface Landmark in South Indian Adult Skulls

Abstract

BACKGROUNDHenle's Spine (HS) is a small bony prominence, anterior to the supramastoid pit, at the postero-superior margin of the external acoustic meatus. Localization of cranial structures using this anatomical landmark is of immense surgical importance to identify and avoid surgical morbidities.
