Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Foramen magnum of 80 skulls of knowns sex from vidarbha region were studied for morphometric parameters, by using vernier caliper transverse and antero-posterior diameter of foramen magnum were measured. P- value for significance was calculated by all measurement followed by paired “t ‘ test and descriptive statistics in SPSS version. The mean antero-posterior diameter in female 31.5mm is lesser than mean antero-posterior diameter in male 36.23mm. Also transverse diameter in female is lesser than male. P- value for both antero-posterior and transverse diameter is significant. Hence study help in identification of unknown sex, depending on dimensions of foramen magnum. Prospective study will help surgeon for reference value for determing feasibility of transcondylar surgical approach, which are being increasing trend in recent time for brain stem lesion.
