الوصف: In most of the day today forensic practice the skeleton will be incomplete and makes gender identification difficult. Many of craniofacial skeletal structures are damaged in mass disasters; natural or manmade, making it difficult to determine the gender. In such cases the skull base and the occipital bone protected by virtue of its anatomical position and packed with large amount of soft tissue, which makes an access for sex assessment. The most conspicuous feature of the cranial base is the large foramen magnum (FM). Length and breadth of the FM was measured using Vernier calipers and the area of FM was calculated. The length, breadth, and area of FM were found to be larger in males than females and were statistically significant. Using discriminant function accuracy of sexing using FM parameters analyzed and found that Morphometric analysis of FM for sex determination should be used only as a supportive finding in estimation of sex of skeletal remains of skull.

الوصف: Identification of the sex from the skeletal remains is the prime work of forensic experts. The present study is carried out to determine the sex of the skull bone from foramen magnum length, breadth and mastoid length. One hundred adult human skull bones of known sex (50 male and 50 female) available in the Department of Anatomy and Forensic Medicine& Toxicology, Madha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai are used for the present study. Among all the three variables statistically analyzed, the most reliable parameter is foremena magnum length which helps to sort out 38% of male skulls and 06% of female skulls i.e. overall 22% of skull bones can be sorted out with this parameter alone. This parameter is also found to be statistically significant.
