The pterion is known as the weakest part of the skull. The pterion may be fractured by wither a direct or indirect blow. It also protects the anterior part of the middle meningeal artery, which can be ruptured from a blow to the pterion.
The weakest area inside the cranium on a sectioned skull is typically the floor of the anterior cranial fossa, near the ethmoid bone. This area is relatively thin and vulnerable to fractures due to its proximity to the frontal bone and the delicate structures such as the olfactory bulb and cribriform plate.
The most hidden bone in the cranium is the sphenoid bone. It is situated at the base of the skull and forms part of the floor of the cranium, making it difficult to see without specialized imaging techniques.
The parietal bone is posterolateral to the frontal bone, forming the sides of the cranium.
