Sphenoparietal Sinus

The sphenoparietal sinus is a canal that connects the sphenoid sinus and the parietal bone. It is about 3 cm long and located in the middle cranial fossa. The sphenoparietal sinus is one of the largest sinuses of the skull and plays an important role in the regulation of intracranial pressure.

The sphenoparietal sinus opens into the sphenoid cavity through the sphenofrontal foramen. This canal provides communication between the sphenoid sinus and the skull. In addition, the sphenoparietal sinus is involved in the circulation of blood and lymph.

The importance of the sphenoparietal sinus is that it regulates intracranial pressure and prevents its increase. If the sphenoparietal sinuses are blocked or narrowed, it can lead to increased intracranial pressure and the development of various diseases such as headaches, migraines, eye diseases and other neurological problems.

Various methods are used to treat sphenoparietal sinusitis, including surgery, physical therapy, and medication. In some cases, a combination of these methods may be required to achieve optimal results.

It is important to note that sphenoparietal sinusitis can be caused by various reasons, such as allergies, infections, injuries and other factors. Therefore, if you are experiencing sphenoparietal sinus symptoms, it is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

The sphenoparietal sinus is the orifice of the venous sinus of the cerebral hemisphere, located through a long and thin canal separating two openings - the large wing of the sphenoid bone and the parietal squama. This helps avoid intracranial bleeding.
