Definition[Bearbeiten]
The anterior clinoid process is a spine- to cone-shaped bony projection at the medial end of the posterior margin of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone. It serves as an attachment for the cerebellar tent (tentorium cerebelli).
Anatomy[Bearbeiten]
The two processus clinoidei anteriores together with the processus clinoidei posteriores frame the sella turcica. The fold formed by the tentorium cerebelli on the anterior clinoid process is known as the anterior petroclinoid plica.
