MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF FORAMEN MAGNUM IN HUMAN DRY SKULLS IN CENTRAL INDIA REGION
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The study of skull and its foramina is important to anatomists, anthropologists, clinicians, neurosurgeons and forensic experts. The dimensions of the foramina and variations in the same are clinically significant in view of the delicate neurovascular structures that traverse them. The present study aims to measure accurately the mean anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the foramen magnum in the region of central India so that the data will be available as a ready reference. Measurements were conducted on 100 dry human skulls in the Department of Anatomy, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College, Jabalpur. The mean anteroposterior diameter was found to be 3.35 cm and transverse diameter was found to be 2.61 cm. The area of the foramen magnum was calculated to be 7.48 cm2
