However, the opening is an aperture, rather than a foramen. [5] CSF circulation
Greater sciatic foramen, a major foramen of the pelvis; Interventricular foramen, channels connecting ventricles in the brain; Intervertebral foramen, foramina formed between vertebrae; Lesser sciatic foramen, an opening between the pelvis and the posterior thigh; Obturator foramen, the opening created by the ischium and pubis bones of the pelvis
[3] [6] Hydrocephalus can be identified by a CT scan or MRI scan of the brain, [6] and treatment involves a neurosurgical operation in which an endoscope (i.e., a tiny camera and tools) is used to widen the foramen or create a new opening through the septum pellucidum between the lateral ventricles.

The human brain is the central organ of the nervous system, and with the spinal cord, ... and ends at the foramen magnum, a large opening in the occipital bone.
The lateral aperture, lateral aperture of fourth ventricle or foramen of Luschka (after anatomist Hubert von Luschka) [1] is an opening at the lateral extremity of either lateral recess of the fourth ventricle opening anteriorly [2] into (sources differ) the pontine cistern [2] /lateral cerebellomedullary cistern at cerebellopontine angle.

The foramen magnum is a large opening of the floor of the posterior cranial fossa, its most conspicuous feature. [2] ... and holds the most basal parts of the brain.
The foramen ovale is one of two cranial foramina in the greater wing, the other being the foramen spinosum. [2]: 771 The foramen ovale is posterolateral to the foramen rotundum and anteromedial to the foramen spinosum. Posterior and medial to the foramen is the opening for the carotid canal. [2]: 776
