Resumen	Introduccion: The foramen venosum (FV) is located in the sphenoid bone anterior and medial of the foramen ovale and is crossed by a vein connecting the pterygoid plexus with the cavernous sinus. Anatomical knowledge of the FV is important because its variants may lead to surgical complications in procedures in the region of the middle cranial fossa. To assess the incidence of the FV, its unilateral or bilateral frequency and the distances from the FV to the foramen ovale (FO) (FV-FO) and from the FV to the foramen spinosum (FS) (FV-FS), including analysis by sex and race. Method: We examined 178 macerated skulls belonging to individuals of both sexes, black and white. Bilateral or unilateral presence of FV was analysed. The FV-FO and FV-FS distances were measured with a digital caliper. Statistical analysis was done using chi-squared and Student's t tests. Results: FV was found in 32.02% of the sample. In 23.6% the FV presented bilaterally and in 8.42% unilaterally. FV was more prevalent in white males than in white females. The FV-FO distance was greater in white males than in white females and significantly greater in black females than in white females. There were racial and sexual differences in the FV-FS distance, which was significantly greater in white males than in white females. Discussion: FV is a very frequent anatomical variation, located antero-medially of the FO, it may present either bilaterally or unilaterally, and there is no preference for either side. Specific differences exist in FV distribution by sex and race. (C) 2017 Anatomical Society of India. Published by Elsevier, a division of RELX India, Pvt. Ltd. All rights reserved.
