Background : Measurements of area and index of the Foramen Magnum in U.P. Population measured which are anatomically and clinically important. The area and index provides us valuable data. Geographically it varies.
Objectives : To determine the morphometric parameters of Foramen Magnum
Materials and Methods : The study was conducted on 71 dry human skulls of unknown sex and measured its Antero-Posterior, Transverse, Right Oblique and Left Oblique diameters with the help of digital caliper.
Result : The obtained mean ± SD value of FMA and FMI are 756.78 ± 88.05 and 82.99 ± 6.90 respectively. There is no significant correlation between FMA and FMI.
Conclusion: The present study will help as guide for neuroanatomists and forensic experts
