  Introduction: The Carotico-clinoid foramen is the result of ossification of carotico-clinoid ligament between anterior and middle clinoid process. Whereas bony bridge between anterior and posterior clinoid processes formed by ossified dural extension connecting these two processes, is called Sella Turcica Bridge. They can be developed unilaterally or bilaterally and vary in frequency. Both these foramina may cause different presentations, i.e. compression, tightness or stretching of internal carotid artery as well as endocrinological problems affecting hypothalamus or hypophysis cerebri or neurological problems through Oculomotor or optic nerve, pituitary gland, which manifest as headache, behavioral changes, hormonal, visual, epileptic, craniofacial deviation and tooth anomalies, etc. That’s why thorough anatomical knowledge is a great clinical help for neurosu..
