| dc.description.abstract | Because of low incidence of lesions of the hypoglossal nerve that exit the skull base via hypoglossal canal, little has been found in the literature about the anatomic features of the hypoglossal canal. The aim of present study was to demonstrate the anatomic features of the hypoglossal canal. The methodology in present study was based on the classification of Hauser and De Stefano (1985). Ninetyseven dry skulls, 16 skull bases and 118 occipital bones were used in this study. The total number of specimens was 462 (right and left sides). The average width of the hypoglossal canal was 4,6±0.9 mm and the average length of the canal was 7.6±1.5 mm. The variations of the canals was identified as five types with subgroups. The most common type was type 1 (66.2 %). No trace of division was present in this type (classic type). One of the types (type 4b) observed in this study was not described previously in the literature. There was a partial division with osseous spines and a complete osseous bridge inside the hypoglossal canal in type 4b. The failure to identify a bipartiate or a tripartiate hypoglossal canal as observed in present study in preoperatively can lead to damage to hypoglossal nerve during the surgery. We believe that knowledge about the features of the hypoglossal canal and use of preoperative imaging methods for it can be helpful in choosing the correct approach for surgery. | en_US |
