Abstract

To detect the radiographic incidence, dimensions and side predilection of arcuate foramen, a radiographic and fluoroscopic survey was employed in 351 patients. Eighteen patients (5.1%) had arcuate foramen. Age and sex did not appear to be related to the frequency of the occurrence of foramina (P>0.05), which was right-sided in 8 cases (2.3%), left-sided in 7 cases (2%), and bilateral in 3 cases (0.9%). The mean superoinferior, anteroposterior diameters and ponticle thickness were 5.7mm (3.7-8.5 mm), 8.1mm (5.7-l0.0 mm) and 2.2mm (L0-3.5mm), respectively.

Özet

Foramen arcuatum'un radyografik insidansinı, boyutlarını ve sağ- sol dağılımını tespit etmek amacıyla 351 hastada radyografik ve floroskopik inceleme gerçekleştirildi. Vakaların 18'inde (%5.1) foramen arcuatum tespit edildi. Bunların 8'i (%2.3) sağda, 7'si (%2) solda ve 3'ü (%0.9) bilateral yerleşimli idi. Foramen arcuatum'un oluşumunda yaş ve cinsiyetin etkili olmadığı tespit edildi (P>0.05). Foramen arcuatum'un üst-alt çapı 3.7-8.5 mm (ortalama 5.7 mm), ön-arka çapı 5.7-10.0 mm (ortalama 8.1 mm) ve pontikulus kalınlığı 1.0-3.5 mm (ortalama 2.2 mm) olarak ölçüldü.
