The bone overlying the acoustic nerve is removed, allowing the tumour to expand upward into the middle cranial fossa.

When extended middle cranial fossa approaches are employed, the superior petrosal sinus is deliberately divided between clips.

Middle cranial fossa (fossa cranii media )

Displacement of the condyle through the roof of glenoid fossa and into the middle cranial fossa is rare.

Cysts in the left middle cranial fossa have been associated with ADHD in a study on affected children.

Although long-term facial nerve outcomes are as good with the middle cranial fossa approach as with other approaches, temporary postoperative paresis is more common.

The carotid canal is the passage way in the temporal bone through which the internal carotid artery enters the middle cranial fossa from the neck.

It enters the middle cranial fossa through the greater (superficial) petrosal foramen (on the anterior surface of the petrous temporal bone).

Jacod Syndrome is commonly associated with a tumor of the middle cranial fossa (near the apex of the orbit); but it can have several other causes.

It travels across the floor of the middle cranial fossa, then exits the skull via foramen ovale to reach the infratemporal fossa.

The foramen rotundum is a circular hole in the sphenoid bone that connects the middle cranial fossa and the pterygopalatine fossa.

The middle cranial fossa, a depression at the base of the cranial cavity forms the thinnest part of the skull and is thus the weakest part.

It communicates with the nasal and oral cavities, infratemporal fossa, orbit, pharynx, and middle cranial fossa through eight foramina.

In medical terminology, Battle's sign, also mastoid ecchymosis, is an indication of fracture of middle cranial fossa of the skull, and may suggest underlying brain trauma.

The lesser petrosal nerve re-enters and travels through the temporal bone to emerge in the middle cranial fossa just lateral to the greater petrosal nerve.

The dura is elevated from the floor of the middle cranial fossa, and osmotic diuretics, head elevation, hyperventilation, and steroids are used to limit cerebral edema.

The pituitary fossa, in which the pituitary gland sits, is situated in the sphenoid bone in the middle cranial fossa at the base of the brain.

After arising in the tympanic plexus, lesser petrosal nerve passes from the temporal bone into the middle cranial fossa via hiatus for lesser petrosal nerve.

The pterygoid canal (also vidian canal) is a passage in the skull leading from just anterior to the foramen lacerum in the middle cranial fossa to the pterygopalatine fossa.

The tympanic membrane is superiorly related to middle cranial fossa, posteriorly to the ear ossicles and the facial nerve, inferiorly to the parotid gland and anteriorly to the temporomandibular joint.
