Abstract

Objectives: Describe the diameter and pneumatization of the anterior clinoid process. Patients and methods: a study of the anterior clinoid process anatomy in the cohort of 60 patients on the thin-multiple slide computed tomography. Results: The length and width were 9.57±1.90 and 10.57±1.66, respectively. There was a significant difference between the length of the anterior clinoid process on the right and left sides in the women. Pneumatization of the anterior clinoid process was revealed in 26.67 percent of patients. Type I of pneumatization was the most common. Conclusion: Anatomic study of the anterior clinoid process on the multiple slide computed tomography with thin-slide was a valuable and updated method compatible with other studies
