What, Where is the Clivus

The Clivus bone is in the base of the skull

 The clivus is a structure that makes up part of the skull base, the area of the skull designed to protect the brain and separate it from other structures around the face and neck. This particular piece of skull base anatomy is located in the middle of the skull and is sometimes used as a landmark in medical imaging and surgery, as it is easy to identify and can help medical practitioners orient themselves inside a patient's head. In addition, certain medical issues can arise in and around the clivus and may be identified on medical imaging studies
