The groove in the orbital face of the greater wing of the sphenoid. A new interpretation.
Year: 1990
Type: article
Abstract: A presumed arterial groove on the orbital face of the greater wing of the sphenoid in the human skull has been shown to be artefact produced by an abrupt thinning of bone. There is no evidence from this study to support the presence of a ramus orbitalis in man.
