Özet

Introduction: Civinini's ligament is among the intrinsic ligaments of sphenoid bone that may occasionally ossify. The ossification may be complete or incomplete and unilateral or bilateral. It may lead entrapment of neighboring neurovascular structures and may cause difficulties during surgical procedures through infratemporal fossa. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to demonstrate the incidence and types of Civinini's bar and discuss its clinical relevance.
