Vomerovaginal canal
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The vomerovaginal canal is a small paired variably present canal between the alae of the vomer and the vaginal processes of the sphenoid bone body. It is medial to the palatovaginal canal.
When present it transmits the sphenopalatine vessels.
Practical points
Knowledge of the anatomy of vomerovaginal canal, palatovaginal canal and its relationrelationship to sphenoid sinus is very helpful in endoscopic trans-sphenoidal surgeries 454,5.
