Background: Posterior cranial fossa (PCF) is an important area in terms of anatomy and surgery. It is a common site of many neoplastic, vascular, and degenerative lesions. Craniovertebral surgeries require special attention regarding detailed information about the morphology and morphometry of this region. The aim of this study was to analyze the morphometric characteristics of PCF and distances between the inner base of the skull. Materials and Methods: An observational, retrospective cross-sectional study was made. Fifty-five dry human skulls of unknown sex were measured ascertained using digital Vernier caliper with 0.01 mm precision. Results: The morphometric analysis of the mean length and width of the FM was 34.51 mm and 29.85 mm, respectively. We found a significant difference (P < 0.05) among the distance between the posterior tip of occipital condyle and basion of the right and left sides. Conclusion: According to our observations, the present study yielded detailed morphometry of the PCF and neurovascular relationship. It can facilitate successful instrumentation and minimize neurovascular injuries. Furthermore, it provides safe and suitable data for guiding neurosurgical procedures. The major limitation of this study was the lack of knowledge regarding the age and gender of the participants whose skull base was studied. |
