In the sphenoid bone the posterior border smooth and rounded is received into the lateral fissure of the brain; the medial end of this border forms the anterior clinoid process which gives attachment to the tentorium cerebelli; it is sometimes joined to the middle clinoid process by a spicule of bone and when this occurs the termination of the groove for the internal carotid artery is converted into a foramen (carotico-clinoid).
