Abstract

AIM: The petrosphenoidal ligament (PSL, or Gruber's ligament) is located between the petrous apex (PA) and posterior clinoid process (PCP). Details of its anatomy are conflicting in the few studies that exist in the literature. We performed this study to describe in detail the microanatomical characteristics of Gruber's ligament.
