Anatomical variations identified at the skull base can result in challenges to the clinician. For example, the anatomy of the foramen ovale and its neighboring structures is critical knowledge for the surgeon who performs transcutaneous approaches to the foramen ovale for treating patients with trigeminal neuralgia. One nearby structure that can compound invasive procedures and potentially result in complications is the foramen of Vesalius. Although usually small, we report a giant foramen of Vesalius found in an adult female skull. The anatomy and clinical aspects of such a finding are discussed and related to other reports in the literature.
颅底发现的解剖变异会给临床医生带来挑战。例如，卵圆孔及其邻近结构的解剖对于经皮穿刺卵圆孔治疗三叉神经痛患者的外科医生来说是至关重要的知识。一个可能使侵入性手术复杂化并可能导致并发症的邻近结构是维萨里孔。尽管维萨里孔通常较小，但我们报告了在一名成年女性颅骨中发现的巨大维萨里孔。本文讨论了这一发现的解剖学和临床方面，并与文献中的其他报告进行了关联。
