Abstract

Objective: The dural zone of entry or exit of the caudal cranial nerves in the petrodival region does not have a constant localization. The present study aimed to measure the dival length, the distances between cranial nerve dural openings and the distance of cranial nerves from the mid-dival line in 30 human autopsy cases.
