  • Title: Clinical anatomy of the blood spaces and blood vessels surrounding the siphon of the internal carotid artery.
    Author: Lang J, Kageyama I.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1990; 139(4):320-5. PubMed ID: 2075799.
    Abstract:
    The anterior blood space of the cavernous sinus is situated anterolateral to the carotid siphon in 70%, anterior to it in 15%, and lateral to it in 15%. Its height, depth, and mediolateral breadth were measured. The mean distance between the carotid siphon and the skin at the supraorbital foramen was measured with 63 (52.4-71.4) mm. The drainage of the orbital veins was studied and described as well as the area of origin and first course of the ophthalmic artery and its clinical importance.
