Abstract:- Pterion is a region in the anterior part of the floor of the temporal fossa where the greater wing of the sphenoid, the parietal, frontal and the squamous temporal bones meet and form a H shaped suture. Alternatively it is the meeting region of these 4 bones(1,2). It is an commonly used landmark to find the place of anterior division of middle meningeal artery inside. There are four different types of pterions they are the spenoparietal, frontotemporal, stellate and the epipteric varieties(3,2,4). Because the anatomical variation is been so much cared by the forensic anthropologists, neurosurgeons and the forensic pathologists, we find it necessary to study the occurrence of different types of pterion in the skulls of Tamil Nadu regions. So as to full fill the criteria the different types of pterion and it’s occurrence in relation with the middle meningeal artery is been studied. The most occurring type of pterion among tamil nadu skulls are found to be the spenoparietal variety and the frontotemporal the least. Each pterion has a little difference their association with the middle meningeal artery and is important for neurosurgeons and forensic anthropologists.
Key Words :- Pterion, frontozygomatic suture, meningeal. |
