A cranial fossa is formed by the floor of the cranial cavity. There are three distinct cranial fossae: [1] Anterior cranial fossa (fossa cranii anterior), housing the projecting frontal lobes of the brain [2] Middle cranial fossa (fossa cranii media), separated from the posterior fossa by the clivus and the petrous crest housing the temporal ...
It passes through the anterior ethmoidal canal alongside the anterior ethmoidal artery [2]: 780 and vein [2]: 566 to emerge in anterior cranial fossa through the anterior ethmoidal foramen [2]: 1464.e13 (at the junction of the cribiform plate of ethmoid bone and orbital part of frontal bone [2]: 566 ).

The anterior cranial fossa is a depression in the floor of the cranial base which houses the projecting frontal lobes of the brain. It is formed by the orbital plates of the frontal, the cribriform plate of the ethmoid, and the small wings and front part of the body of the sphenoid; it is limited behind by the posterior borders of the small wings of the sphenoid and by the anterior margin of ...
The Keros classification is a method of classifying the depth of the olfactory fossa. The depth of the olfactory fossa is determined by the height of the lateral lamella of the cribriform plate. Keros in 1962, classified the depth into three categories. [3] type 1: has a depth of 1–3 mm (26.3% of population)
The base of skull, also known as the cranial base or the cranial floor, is the most inferior area of the skull. It is composed of the endocranium and the lower parts of the calvaria . Structure
The goal of treatment is to position this bar together with the frontal bone in a plane three millimetres further forwards than the vertical plane of the cornea. [54] A two-dimensional sagittal image is used to pre-operatively determine the extent of movement, which can vary between seven and fifteen millimetres depending on the severity of the ...
It is typically caused by a basilar skull fracture, which presents complications such as infection. It may be diagnosed using brain scans (prompted based on initial symptoms), and by testing to see if discharge from the nose is cerebrospinal fluid. Treatment may be conservative (as many cases resolve spontaneously), but usually involves ...
