The postglenoid opening in a solid object is an emissary small aperture in skin found in the momentary bone. This foramen is excellent in the human skull. This member aims to determine the closeness of post-glenoid foramen cruel skulls.The study used 100 adult dry human skulls with 200 momentary bones on each side (right and abandoned) from the Department of Anatomy at RVS Dental College and Hospital in Coimbatore, India. Two investigators visually recognized the significant small aperture in skin in the selected skulls by situating them on a flat table. To determine the patency of the opening in a solid object, a probing order was used. Out of 100 skulls (200 worldly bones), alone skull showed a concerned with one side post-glenoid foramen on the mandibular fossa of the abandoned side temporal cartilage (2% of 200). The foramen was raise backwards from the glenoid fossa of the momentary bone. It lies anterior to the outside acoustic meatus in foul line of fusion of the squamous and tympanic some temporal cartilage.The rare incident of the emissary foramen can cause serious healing condition. As a result, the current study highlights individual of the rare deputy foramen, the post-glenoid foramen. The surgeons can benefit from this anatomical test of the post-glenoid foramen while operating on temporomandibular joint and central ear malformations so that reduce the risk of unforeseen bleeding during enucleation.
