Address for Correspondence: Dr. Khizer Hussain Afroze, Department of Anatomy, Sri Siddhartha Medical College (SSMC), Sri Siddhartha Academy of Higher Education (SSAHE), Tumakuru, Karnataka, India. 572107. E-Mail: drafroze.homoeo@gmail.com Introduction: Knowledge of morphological structure such as anterior clinoid process and the middle clinoid process is essential during the surgical approach of the cavernous sinus and internal carotid artery. In addition, osseous variations such as ossified interclinoid and carotico clinoid ligament are significant in clinical practice because they can produce various neurological disturbances or block the passage of an internal carotid artery which changes its direction and runs medially out of the cavernous sinus through the osseous bar. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of the ossified carotico clinoid ligament in Bengal population. Material and Methods: 56 dry unknown skull bones were studied from the Department of Anatomy, IQ City Medical College, Durgapur, West Bengal. The incidence of partial or complete and unilateral and bilateral ossification of carotico clinoid ligaments (CCL) was observed and photographed. Results: In the present study, the incidence of the ossified carotico clinoid ligament (CCL) was observed in 38 (33.93%) sides of skulls. The incidence of complete ossification of the carotico clinoid ligament (CCL) was observed in 9 (16.07%) skulls (unilateral-5 and bilateral-4). Incomplete ossification of the carotico clinoid ligament (CCL) was found in 17 (30.35%) skulls (unilateral9 and bilateral-8). Conclusion: A potential risk for compression of the internal carotid artery is due to ossification of the carotico clinoid ligament. Hence, a detailed anatomical and morphometric knowledge of the region is necessary to perform the successful surgeries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of the ossified carotico clinoid ligament in Bengal population as well as to discuss its clinical relevance.
