Anterior clinoid process - Wikipedia
The anterior clinoid process is a posterior projection of the sphenoid bone at the junction of the medial end of either lesser wing of sphenoid bone with the body of sphenoid bone. The bilateral processes flank the sella turcica anteriorly.
Posterior clinoid processes - Wikipedia
The posterior clinoid processes are the tubercles of the sphenoid bone situated at the superior angles of the dorsum sellae (one on each angle) which represents the posterior boundary of the sella turcica. They vary considerably in size and form.

5 天之前 · The anterior clinoid process is a thin, pointed bony projection that arises from the medial wall of the middle cranial fossa, near the front of the skull. [8] It is located just above the optic canal and is directed anteriorly and medially towards the middle meningeal artery .
Anterior clinoid process - e-Anatomy - IMAIOS
The posterior border of small wing of sphenoid, smooth and rounded, is received into the lateral fissure of the brain; the medial end of this border forms the anterior clinoid process, which gives attachment to the tentorium cerebelli; it is sometimes joined to the middle clinoid process by a spicule of bone, and when this occurs the ...
Ossification of caroticoclinoid ligament and its clinical importance …
The medial end of the posterior border of the sphenoid bone presents the anterior clinoid process (ACP), which is usually accessed for operations involving the clinoid space and the cavernous sinus. The ACP is often connected to the middle clinoid process (MCP) by a ligament known as the caroticoclinoid ligament (CCL), which may be ossified ...

5 天之前 · The posterior clinoid process is a small, slender bony protrusion located at the base of the brain within the skull.[6] It is a key anatomical landmark that serves several important functions within the central nervous system.
Anterior clinoid process and the surrounding structures
Background: The anterior clinoid process (ACP) is located close to the optic nerve, internal carotid artery, ophthalmic artery, and can be easily injured in an ACP-related surgery. An anatomical study clearly defining the ACP is of great importance.

Anatomical variations and morphometric study of the optic strut …
The anterior clinoid process in almost every observed male skull was triangular in shape, its base oriented to the front and top to the back and medially. In eleven skulls – in 5.5% cases, we found the process to be quadrangular in shape.
