| Abstract |
The clivus is a bony structure formed by the fusion of the basioccipital and basispheniod bone at the sphenooccipital synchondrosis. This downward sloping structure from the dorsum sellae to the foramen magnum is derived from mesoderm and ectoderm properties. This comprehensive review of the clivus will discuss its basic anatomy, embryology, pathological findings, and surgical implications. The clivus is an endochondral bone, formed under two processes; first, a cartilaginous base is developed, and it is secondly reabsorbed and replaced with bone. Knowledge of its embryological structure and growth of development will clarify the pathogenesis of anatomical variants and pathological findings of the clivus. Understanding the anatomy including proximity to anatomical structures, adjacent neurovasculature properties, and anatomical variants will aid neurosurgeons in their surgical management when treating pathological findings around the clivus. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 July 2018.
All research outputs
#14,418,409
of 23,092,602 outputs
Outputs from Child's Nervous System
#800
of 2,817 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#186,884
of 329,253 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Child's Nervous System
#25
of 96 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,092,602 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,817 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,253 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 96 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
