Foramen1
  • The maxillary division exits the middle cranial fossa from foramen rotundum and enters the orbit through the inferior orbital fissure. (asra.com)
Lateral4
  • The lateral parts of the middle fossa are of considerable depth, and support the temporal lobes of the brain. (wikipedia.org)
  • when present, it opens below at the lateral side of the scaphoid fossa, and transmits a small vein. (wikipedia.org)
  • The median nerve crosses in front of the brachial artery at the middle of the arm from lateral to medial side, and passes along its medial side. (pulsus.com)
  • 7 Furthermore, the ganglion has a somatotropic distribution: thus the mandibular portion lies in the rostral and lateral part, the maxillary division does in the middle portion, and the ophthalmic division does in the cephalad and medial region. (asra.com)
Defect3

Repair1
  • Postoperative CT scans showed reduction of the condyle and repair of the cranial fossa. (pocketdentistry.com)
Head2
  • This also failed to reduce the condyle because almost the whole condylar head had dislocated into the fossa. (pocketdentistry.com)
  • At that time, computed tomography (CT) of the head showed complete opacification of the left mastoid air cells, a soft tissue infiltrate within the middle ear chambers involving the epitympanic recess, and thinning of the left mastoid bone without obvious bony destruction or intracranial extension.
