2 SKULL AND MENINGES 2.1. Interior View of the Base of the Adult Skull 2.2. Foramina in the Base of the Adult Skull 2.3. Bony Framework of the Head and Neck 2.4. Schematic of the Meninges and Their Relationships to the Brain and Skull 2.5. Hematomas 2.1 INTERIOR VIEW OF THE BASE OF THE ADULT SKULL The anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae house the anterior frontal lobe, temporal lobe, and cerebellum and brain stem, respectively. The fossae are separated from each other by bony structures and dural membranes. A swelling of the brain or the presence of mass lesions can selectively exert pressure within an individual fossa. The perforated cribriform plate allows the olfactory nerves to penetrate into the olfactory bulb, a site where head trauma can result in the tearing of the penetrating olfactory nerve fibers. 2.2 FORAMINA IN THE BASE OF THE ADULT SKULL The foramina in the base of the skull allow major nerves and blood vessels to course through the skull through each opening. Pressure, traction, and masses can damage structures traversing these small spaces that snugly confine the structures. CLINICAL POINT Only gold members can continue reading.
