Synonym: foramen ethmoidale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| jugular foramen | A passage between the petrous portion of the temporal bone and the jugular process of the occipital, sometimes divided into two by the intrajugular processes; it contains the internal jugular vein, inferior petrosal sinus, the glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory nerves, and meningeal branches of the ascending pharyngeal and occipital arteries. Synonym: foramen jugulare, foramen lacerum posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Ferrein's foramen | The opening on the anterior aspect of the petrous part of the temporal bone which leads to the facial canal and gives passage to the greater petrosal nerve. Synonym: hiatus canalis nervi petrosi majoris, fallopian hiatus, Ferrein's foramen, hiatus canalis facialis, hiatus of canal for greater petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |

| zygomatico-orbital foramen | The common opening on the orbital surface of the zygomatic bone of the canals transmitting the zygomaticofacial and zygomaticotemporal nerves; sometimes each of these canals has a separate opening on the orbital surface. Synonym: foramen zygomatico-orbitale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zygomaticotemporal foramen | The opening, on the temporal surface of the zygomatic bone, of the canal that gives passage to the zygomaticotemporal nerve. Synonym: foramen zygomaticotemporale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacerated foramen | <anatomy> An irregular aperture, filled with cartilage (basilar cartilage) in the living, located between the apex of the petrous part of the temporal bone, the body of the sphenoid, and the basilar part of the occipital bones. Several structures pass along the margins of the foramen in a nearly horizontal direction but no structures pass through vertically. Synonym: foramen lacerum medium, lacerated foramen, sphenotic foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
