EMINENTIA FOSSAE TRIANGULARIS Meaning and Definition

  1. Eminentia fossae triangularis is a medical term that refers to a specific anatomical feature located in the skull base, specifically in the region of the brain called the posterior cranial fossa.

    The term can be broken down into two main components. Firstly, "eminentia" is derived from the Latin word "eminere," which means to project or to stand out. Secondly, "fossae triangularis" can be translated as triangular depression. Thus, eminentia fossae triangularis can be understood as a triangular-shaped elevation or prominence found within a depression.

    In anatomical terms, this term typically describes a bony prominence located within the area known as the clivus. The clivus is a sloping, wedge-shaped surface that connects the base of the skull to the upper vertebrae of the spinal column. The eminentia fossae triangularis is situated near the midline on the posterior aspect of the clivus.

    Although the exact purpose or function of the eminentia fossae triangularis is still a subject of investigation, it is believed to be a point of attachment or a site of origin for certain structures in the brain, such as cranial nerves or blood vessels. This anatomical feature may play a role in maintaining stability and providing support to surrounding structures in the region.

  2. Eminence of the triangular fossa, the prominence on the cranial surface of the auricle corresponding to the fossa triangularis.
