This case report highlights the rare discovery of a coronoid foramen in the mandible of a 55-year-old woman, a finding that deviates from conventional anatomical norms. The coronoid foramen, an unusual anatomical variation in adults, is often overlooked, emphasizing the need for meticulous exploration and diagnostic imaging in clinical practice. This discovery not only contributes to the growing body of knowledge on anatomical variations but also emphasizes the significance of thorough radiographic assessments for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in dental and maxillofacial practice.
