Resumo
The sternum is an area of frequent anatomical variations and can be
observed from different methods such as dry bones, images and autopsies and the
presence of the foramen has been associated with possible risks in various clinical
activities. We evaluated 28 Sterna bones of indeterminate gender, randomly selected,
the acquis of the ossuary of the Department of Morphology of the Federal University
of Goiás The findings were documented photographically and data were tabulated
and compared to those described in literature. The material was handled for the
presence of sternal foramen, has measured up the longitudinal diameter (vertical)
and transverse (horizontal) foramina present and description of its features. The
analysis of the data, the overall result was expressed by frequency and percentage of
bones with anatomical variations of the foramen. The longitudinal dimension of the
sternal foramen presented with change of 0.3 to 0,9cm, with an average size 0,65cm
(Table 1), which is of less than 1.1 cm on record. Since the transverse diameter
showed the average size of 0,53cm, resembling other records. The sternal foramen is
mainly presented in the round and oval shapes, with a slightly higher percentage ever
reported, which reinforces the description of the sternal bone as an anatomical area
of frequent variation, and reinter additional care in medical procedures involving the
sternal area.
