| petrosal sinus sampling | Sampling of blood levels of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) by withdrawal of blood from the inferior petrosal sinus. The inferior petrosal sinus arises from the cavernous sinus and runs to the internal jugular vein. Sampling of blood at this level is a valuable tool in the differential diagnosis of cushing disease, cushing syndrome, and other adrenocortical diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| petrosal vein | <anatomy, vein> A short trunk formed by the union of four or five cerebellar and pontine veins opposite the middle cerebellar peduncle; it terminates in the superior petrosal sinus. See: superior petrosal sinus, inferior petrosal sinus. Synonym: vena petrosa. (05 Mar 2000) |

| greater petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The parasympathetic root of the pterygopalatine ganglion; a branch from the genu of the facial nerve exiting via the hiatus of the facial canal and running in a groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone beside the foramen lacerum to join the deep petrosal nerve, thus forming the nerve of the pterygoid canal, which passes through the pterygoid canal to reach the pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: nervus petrosus major, greater petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| greater superficial petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The parasympathetic root of the pterygopalatine ganglion; a branch from the genu of the facial nerve exiting via the hiatus of the facial canal and running in a groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone beside the foramen lacerum to join the deep petrosal nerve, thus forming the nerve of the pterygoid canal, which passes through the pterygoid canal to reach the pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: nervus petrosus major, greater petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for inferior petrosal sinus | A groove lodging the inferior petrosal sinus, formed by union of similarly named grooves in the petrous part of the temporal bone and the basilar part of the occipital bone. Synonym: sulcus sinus petrosi inferioris, inferior petrosal groove, inferior petrosal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for superior petrosal sinus | A groove on the crest of the petrous portion of the temporal bone in which rests the superior petrosal sinus. Synonym: sulcus sinus petrosi superioris, superior petrosal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove of greater petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone that lodges the greater petrosal nerve. Synonym: sulcus nervi petrosi majoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove of lesser petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone that accommodates the lesser petrosal nerve in its course to the otic ganglion. Synonym: sulcus nervi petrosi minoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hiatus of canal for greater petrosal nerve | 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) |
| hiatus of canal of lesser petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The small opening in the petrous bone lateral to the hiatus of facial canal that gives passage to the lesser petrosal nerve. Synonym: hiatus canalis nervi petrosi minoris, Arnold's canal, canalis nervi petrosi superficialis minoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| small deep petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of two sympathetic branches from the internal carotid plexus to the tympanic plexus. Synonym: nervus caroticotympanicus, small deep petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
