3. Why a radiation oncologist need it?
• Some head and neck cancers having perineural spread
• Para nasal sinus
• Nasopharynx
• Salivary gland
• Buccal mucosa
• Complex nature of skull base area
• Some tumors like schwannoma arise from cranial nerves
• Some functional issues like trigeminal neuralgia need SRS

17. Ethmoid bone
• Cribriform plate is perforated by
approx 20 holes on each side of
the crista galli
• Nerve fibres of olfactory nerve (CN I)
pass from nasal mucosa to olfactory
bulb
• Crista galli serves as the anchor for
anterior margin of the falx cerebri
17
18. Normal skull base
• Most important part:
– Basisphenoid (anterior aspect of sella)
– Basiocciput (posterior lip of the foramen magnum)
18
19. Sphenoid bone
• 3 compartments:
– Basisphenoid:
• Dorsum sella, posterior clinoids, sella turcica,
tuberculum sella, sphenoid sinus
• Fused to clivus in adult
– Greater wing of sphenoid
• Medial two-thirds and anterior wall of the middle
cranialfossa floor
– Lesser wing of sphenoid
• Medial and superior aspects of the anterior wall of
the middle cranial fossa and the anterior clinoids
• Superior and medial edgesof the superior orbital
fissure

47. Foramen magnum
Content
1. Anterior and posterior spinal
arteries, vertebral arteries
2. Lowest part of medulla
oblongata, three meninges,
ascending spinal fibers
of accessory nerve (XI)

67. Origin of cranial nerves
1. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard
technique in the study of the cranial nerves
2. Steady-state free procession (SSFP) images are the best
sequences for the visualization of the cisternal segments
showing dark cranial nerves against a background of bright
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
3. Computed tomography (CT) can be useful to evaluate
intraosseous segments of cranial nerves, skull base
foramina, and bony traumatic lesions
