Foramen cecum (frontal bone)
(Redirected from Foramen caecum ossis frontalis)
Foramen Cecum (Frontal Bone)
The Foramen Cecum is a small hole located in the frontal bone of the human skull. It is an anatomical feature that is present from birth and is considered a normal part of the skull's structure. The Foramen Cecum is located at the midline, in the anterior cranial fossa, between the two halves of the frontal bone.
Etymology
The term "Foramen Cecum" is derived from the Latin words "foramen" meaning hole, and "cecum" meaning blind, referring to its blind-ended structure.
Anatomy
The Foramen Cecum is a small hole that is located in the frontal bone of the skull. It is situated at the midline, in the anterior cranial fossa, between the two halves of the frontal bone. The Foramen Cecum is connected to the nasal cavity by a small channel known as the nasofrontal duct.
Clinical Significance
Although the Foramen Cecum is a normal part of the skull's structure, it can sometimes be associated with certain medical conditions. For example, in rare cases, it can be a site of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, leading to a condition known as meningocele. In addition, it can also be a site of infection, leading to a condition known as osteomyelitis.
