MP1610 - Dural Skull

In this 3D print of the skull and cranial cavity part and dural folds have been preserved. A thin strip of the calvaria have been retained in the mid sagittal plane in order to preserve the attachment of the falx cerebri. The tentorium cerebelli is also preserved and demonstrates the tentorial notch which normally houses the mid-brain. In the region of the sella turcica the point where internal carotid arteries enter the cranial cavity through the roof of the cavernous sinuses is coloured red. The main purpose of this model is to show the disposition of the dural folds and the position of the dural venous sinuses (in pale blue). The following sinuses are indicated: superior sagittal sinus, inferior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, transverse sinuses, superior and inferior petrosal sinuses, sphenoparietal sinuses and the cavernous sinuses.
