Study of the sphenoid venous foramen in a Chilean population using three-dimensional imaging methods

Introduction: The foramen venosum is an inconstant anatomical hole located at the cranial base, specifically at the greater wing of the sphenoid, anterior medial to the foramen ovale. It allows the passage of a sphenoid emissary vein, which connects the pterygoid plexus with the cavernous sinus. Its...

description Introduction: The foramen venosum is an inconstant anatomical hole located at the cranial base, specifically at the greater wing of the sphenoid, anterior medial to the foramen ovale. It allows the passage of a sphenoid emissary vein, which connects the pterygoid plexus with the cavernous sinus. Its presence has been related to clinical complications in neurosurgical procedures and is a potential access route to infectious processes in the cranial cavity. Objective: Determine the prevalence and morphological characteristics of the foramen venosum analyzed by means of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and method: 126 CBCT of Chilean adults available in the Department of Anatomy of the Finis Terrae University were studied, in a statistical analysis where variations in the incidence, morphology, permeability and distance to other anatomical structures were observed: foramen spinosum, foramen ovale and midline. Results: The presence of the foramen venosum was observed in 19% of the population. 87.5% were found unilaterally and 12.5% ​​bilaterally. 48.1% were rounded and 51.9% irregular. The average diameter was 2.2 mm, with 100% of them permeable. The average distances between the foramen venosum and the foramen ovale, the foramen spinosum and the midline were 1.72 mm, 10.14 mm and 19.7 mm. respectively. Conclusions: The foramen venosum appeared in 19% of the total, in an oval or irregular shape, anterior and medial to the foramen ovale, presenting mainly unilaterally. These anatomical characteristics of this foramen must be considered during neurosurgical interventions in the middle cranial fossa.

Introducción:  El Agujero Venoso es un reparo anatómico inconstante localizado en la base de cráneo, específicamente en el ala mayor del Esfenoides, anteromedial al Agujero Oval. Este permite el paso de una vena emisaria esfenoidal, la cual conecta al plexo pterigoideo con el seno cavernoso. Su presencia se ha relacionado con complicaciones clínicas en procedimientos neuroquirúrgicos y es una potencial vía de acceso de procesos infecciosos a la cavidad craneal. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia y las características morfológicas más prevalentes del Agujero venoso analizadas mediante tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT). Material y método: Se estudiaron 126 CBCT de adultos chilenos disponibles en el Departamento de Anatomía de la Universidad Finis Terrae, en un análisis estadístico donde se observaron las variaciones en la incidencia, morfología, permeabilidad y distancia a otras estructuras anatómicas: Agujero Espinoso, Agujero Oval y línea media.  Resultados: Se observó la presencia del Agujero Venoso en un 19% de la población. 87.5% se encontró unilateralmente y 12.5% ​​bilateralmente. El 48,1% fueron redondeados y el 51,9% irregulares. El diámetro promedio fue de 2.2 mm, con un 100% de ellos permeables. Las distancias promedio entre el Agujero Venoso y el Agujero Oval, el Agujero espinoso y la línea media fueron 1.72 mm, 10.14 mm y 19.7 mm. respectivamente. Conclusiones: El Agujero Venoso se presentó en el 19% del total, en forma ovalada o irregular, anteromedial al Agujero Oval, presentándose principalmente de manera unilateral. Dichas características anatómicas de este agujero deben considerarse durante las intervenciones neuroquirúrgicas en la fosa craneal media.
