We investigated its distribution and the development of the corresponding subcutaneous compartments in serial sections of female human embryos and foetuses and prepared 3D reconstructions to establish topographic relations. The thick-skin area becomes restricted to the outlets of the genital and intestinal tracts.

Differential access to pathological sellar processes and adjacent regions is determined by the anatomic structures identified through diagnostic imaging. Both direct endonasal access (microscopic or endoscopic) and sublabial access utilize the sphenoid sinus (SS) as the primary surgical pathway. Critical factors include the pneumatization of the sinus, its intermediate septa, and the presence of a double wall, consisting of a connective tissue membrane along the dorsal wall of the SS.
