Faint, anteriorly convergent ridges extend from the sphenoidal bridge and define the shallow basisphenoid fossa. |
|
In other taxa, a sheet of bone develops ventrally, between the pila and the basisphenoid. |
|
The basisphenoid bears a deep, central depression at this point called the sella turcica or pituitary fossa. |
|
Although the fusion between basioccipital and basisphenoid is almost complete, the suture can still be observed. |
|
We also show the result of comparing such efficacy with that obtained from assessment of the basisphenoid suture. |
|
The pituitary fossa is approached through the mouth via an incision in the soft palate to gain access to the basisphenoid bone and pituitary fossa. |
|
Computed tomography had demonstrated massive thickening of the left temporal bone, involvement of the basisphenoid bone, and expansion of the left side of the mandible. |
|
Three age classes were assigned on the basis of ventral braincase suture closures between the basioccipital and basisphenoid, and between the basisphenoid and presphenoid. |
|
The cerebral carotid then passes closely apposed to the basisphenoid, ventral to the otosphenoidal crest, where it enters the cerebral carotid canal. |
