Sphenoid Illustration

This illustration series explores the anatomical relationships of the sphenoid bone within the sellar region, viewed from superior and posterior perspectives. The focus centres on the spatial interplay between the internal carotid artery and the trigeminal nerve as they course through and around the cavernous sinus and parasellar structures.

By isolating and layering these elements, the visuals clarify how complex neurovascular pathways conform to the contours of the sphenoid, highlighting clinically relevant proximity in a region frequently approached in neurosurgical and endoscopic procedures. The work balances structural accuracy with visual hierarchy to support surgical learning and spatial comprehension.
