1. Definition[Bearbeiten]
The crista galli is a thick, smooth, roughly triangular bony projection of the ethmoid bone (Os ethmoidale), which remotely resembles a cockscomb.
2. Anatomy[Bearbeiten]
The anterior edge of the crista galli articulates with the os frontale. It has two small wings (alae) that correspond with corresponding depressions of the frontal bone and form the foramen caecum. The posterior edge of the crista serves as an attachment point for the falx cerebri.
