<p>CSV import</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Basilar Part&#039;&#039;&#039; is a term used in [[anatomy]] to refer to the base of a structure. In the context of the [[human skull]], the basilar part is a region of the [[occipital bone]] where it articulates with the [[sphenoid bone]].<br /> <br /> == Structure ==<br /> <br /> The basilar part is a thick, somewhat quadrilateral piece in front of the [[foramen magnum]] and directed towards the [[pharynx]]. This part is also known as the basioccipital. It articulates in front with the [[sphenoid bone]], and laterally with the [[petrous portion]] of the [[temporal bone]].<br /> <br /> == Development ==<br /> <br /> The basilar part is initially made up of [[cartilage]] in the developing [[fetus]]. This cartilage is replaced by [[bone]] during the process of [[endochondral ossification]], which typically completes by the age of six years.<br /> <br /> == Clinical significance ==<br /> <br /> Abnormalities or injuries to the basilar part can have significant clinical implications. For example, [[basilar skull fracture]]s can lead to [[cerebrospinal fluid leak]], [[meningitis]], or [[cranial nerve]] injuries.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Occipital bone]]<br /> * [[Sphenoid bone]]<br /> * [[Foramen magnum]]<br /> * [[Endochondral ossification]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Anatomy]]<br /> [[Category:Skull]]<br /> {{anatomy-stub}}</div>
