Background: The posterior cranial fossa and the foramen magnum are the key anatomical components of the craniovertebral junction, which contain and transmit numerous vital neurovascular structures. Through foramen magnum important neural elements, the 7th to 12th cranial nerves, the cervical spinal nerves, the brainstem, the rostral aspect of the spinal cord, the cerebellum and the vermis, as well as various vascular structures such as the vertebral artery and its branches, the meningeal vessels and the venous sinuses. Materials and Methods: The present study conducted with 154 adult dry skull. We have observed the shapes of foramen magnum and classified as oval, round, tetragonal, pentagonal, hexagonal and irregular in shape. We have recorded morphometric measurements like anterior-posterior diameter and transverse diameter of foramen magnum. Values of each measurement were expressed in the form of Mean+SD. Results: Oval shape foramen magnum was observed in 52 number of skulls and the incidence was 33.76%, tetragonal shape was observed in 31 number of skulls and the incidence was 20.12%, hexagonal shape was observed in 18 number of skulls and the incidence was 11.68%, round shape was observed in 26 number of skulls and the incidence was 16.88%, pentagonal shape was observed in 13 number of skulls and the incidence was 8.44% and pear shape was observed in 14 number of skulls and the incidence was 9.12%. The Anterior - Posterior diameter (mm) Foramen Magnum was 36.84+4.62mm. The transverse diameter (mm) foramen magnum 30.45+2.82mm. Conclusion: In present study findings concludes hat the results may be helpful to the neurosurgeon in analysing the morphological anatomy of craniovertebral junction. The findings are also assisting in their pracice for the anthropologists, morphologists and clinical anatomists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
