Fracture of the of the petrous portion of the temporal bone may cause :
blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to escape from the
ear,
hearing loss,
and facial nerve damage
Structures passing through superior orbital fissure
Superior orbital fissure (through CTRZ):
Oculomotor nerve (superior and inferior division),
abducent nerves

nerve),
trochlear nerve

Foramina in the base of the skul and their structures oassing through:
🔰Petrotympanic fissure ▶Chorda tympani and often anterior tympanic artery
🔰Stylomastoid foramen▶ Facial nerve
🔰Incisive canal ▶Nasopalatine nerve and terminal part of the sphenopalatine or greater palatine vessels
🔰Greater palatine foramen▶ Greater palatine nerve and vessels
🔰Lesser palatine foramen ▶Lesser palatine nerve and vessels
🔰Palatine canal▶ Descending palatine vessels and the greater and lesser palatine nerves
🔰Pterygoid canal▶ Runs from the anterior wall of the foramen lacerum to the pterygopalatine fossa and transmits the
nerve of the pterygoid canal (vidian nerve)
🔰Sphenopalatine foramen▶ Sphenopalatine vessels and nasopalatine nerve
Foramina in the Front of the Skull and
Foramen Contents

Duramater is supplied by all cranial neeves except:
Cranial nerve 4 (trochlear) do not supply dura mater.
• It is a pure motor nerve which supply the skeletal muscle superior oblique in the eyeball.
