Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the anatomical variations and morphometric characteristics of the sulci in the dural venous sinuses within the intracranial cavity, with a particular focus on sex differences and asymmetry.

Methods: Thirty fixed cadaveric heads were used to measure the dimensions (length, width, and depth) and spatial relationships of the dural venous sinus sulci within the intracranial cavity, including the distance to the midline, distance to each other, and lateral margin of the skull. Comparisons were made between sexes and sides of the body.

Results: A significant difference was observed in the length of the marginal sinus on the right side between sexes (p = 0.028). Various measurements, including the width of the transverse sinus, origin and insertion sites of the superior petrosal sinus, and distances between the sinuses and midline, showed statistically significant differences between the left and right sides (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the width of the inferior petrosal sinus and depth of the sigmoid sinus were notably higher on the right side (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The results suggest an asymmetric distribution of the sigmoid, superior/inferior petrosal, and transverse sinuses in terms of diameter and distance from the midline. Surgeons should consider these anatomical variations during procedures in this region.

颅底颅内腔内提示硬脑膜静脉窦凹陷的分析。

目的：本研究旨在研究颅内腔内硬脑膜静脉窦沟的解剖变化和形态特征，特别关注性别差异和不对称性。方法：采用30个固定尸头测量颅内腔内硬脑膜静脉窦沟的尺寸（长、宽、深）和空间关系，包括到中线的距离、彼此的距离和颅骨外侧缘的距离。在性别和身体侧面之间进行了比较。结果：两性在右侧边缘窦长度上差异有统计学意义（p = 0.028）。各种测量，包括横窦的宽度，岩上窦的起始和止点，以及鼻窦与中线的距离，在左右两侧显示有统计学意义上的差异(p结论：结果表明乙状骨、岩上/下鼻窦和横窦在直径和距中线的距离方面分布不对称。外科医生在对该区域进行手术时应考虑到这些解剖变异。

期刊介绍： Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit. Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest. Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
