The anatomy of the greater petrosal nerve while within the middle cranial fossa is lacking in the English literature and must be well understood by the surgeon who operates in this area. Twenty-two sides from six female and five male cadavers were examined. Measurements were made between the greater petrosal nerve as it coursed through the middle cranial fossa and surrounding structures such as the arcuate eminence and lateral wall of the middle cranial fossa. Mean distances from the arcuate eminence to the hiatus of the greater petrosal nerve into the middle cranial fossa measured 17.5 mm (SD = 2.2). The length of this nerve within the middle fossa was approximately 10 mm (SD = 2). From the lateral wall of the middle fossa to a midpoint of the greater petrosal nerve mean distances measured 39 mm (SD = 2.4). The mean distance from the foramen spinosum to the exit of this nerve inferior to the trigeminal ganglion measured 7 mm (SD = 1.8). These measurements will hopefully aid the surgeon who wishes to expose or avoid the greater petrosal nerve within the middle cranial fossa.
关于岩大神经在中颅窝内的解剖结构，英文文献中较为缺乏，而在该区域进行手术的外科医生必须对此有充分的了解。对6具女性和5具男性尸体的22侧进行了检查。测量了岩大神经穿过中颅窝时与周围结构（如弓状隆起和中颅窝侧壁）之间的距离。从弓状隆起至岩大神经进入中颅窝的裂孔的平均距离为17.5毫米（标准差=2.2）。该神经在中颅窝内的长度约为10毫米（标准差=2）。从中颅窝侧壁至岩大神经中点的平均距离为39毫米（标准差=2.4）。从棘孔至该神经在三叉神经节下方穿出点的平均距离为7毫米（标准差=1.8）。这些测量结果有望帮助希望在中颅窝内暴露或避开岩大神经的外科医生。
