چکیده
Introduction: Anthropometric study is very important in the identification of sex especially when the body has been destroyed as a result of physical injury. The aim of this study, therefore, is to determine the presence of sexual dimorphism in the foramen magnum of skulls of North India region.. The sample comprised 96 skulls, of these skulls 50 are males and 46 females. The result obtained demonstrated that significant sexual dimorphism is present in the cranial base of the said population.

Some aspects of the neurocraniometry of the African giant rat (Cricetomys gambianus Waterhouse).
Sixteen African giant rats (Cricetomys gambianus Waterhouse), consisting of 8 male and 8 female rats, were used to determine neurocranial measurements of the skulls. The mean neurocranial volume was 5.06 + or - 0.05 mL, neurocranial length was 3.33 + or - 0.08 cm, and the neurocranial height and index were 1.39 + or - + or - 0.04 cm and 41.74%, respectively. The mean whole skull length and heig...

متن کاملClival Screw Placement in Patient with atlas assimilation: A CT-based feasibility study
Clival screw and plate fixation technique is an alternative or supplement to the occipitocervical instrumentation. However, no report has clarified the applied anatomy of clivus in patients with atlas assimilation (C1A), especially for clival screw fixation. Therefore, we measured the parameters of clival lengths, widths, putative screw lengths, clival-cervical angel and foramen magnum diameter...

متن کاملCraniometric Analysis of Foramen Magnum for Estimation of Sex
Human skull is shown to exhibit numerous sexually dimorphic traits. Estimation of sex is a challenging task especially when a part of skull is brought for medicolegal investigation. The present research was planned to evaluate the sexing potential of the dimensions of foramen magnum in forensic identification by craniometric analysis. Length and breadth of the foramen magnum was measured using ...
