At the anterior wall of the foramen lacerum posterius is the opening of a very small canal (for the minute internal carotid artery) which runs forwards (between the basi- occipital and basi-sphenoid on one side, and its auditory bulla on the other) to open inside the cranium beside the sella Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly rese
