Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to performmorphometric analysis of the foramen magnum (FM)and clivus using cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT) and to evaluate their applicability in age andgender estimation.Materials and Methods: CBCT images of 412individuals (248 females and 164 males) wereincluded in the study. The sagittal dimension (SD) andtransverse dimension (TD) and area of the FM weremeasured. The width and length of clivus werecalculated. The data were statistically analyzed withANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis and t-tests to assess the levelof significance for sex and age.Result: The mean values of SD, TD, area of FM andwidth and length of clivus were higher in males thanin females. Statistically significant differences werefound between sexes for all variables (p0.05). There was a significantrelationship and positive correlation between length ofclivus and age groups (p=0.009, r=0.351).Concusion: CBCT provides valuable informationabout the dimensions of the FM and clivus, and can beused reliably for anthropometric analysis and forensicmedicine in the field of sexual dimorphism. The lengthof clivus can also help in determining age groups.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı foramen magnum (FM) ve klivusun morfometrik özelliklerini konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) ile belirleyip ve yaş ve cinsiyet belirlemede kullanılabilirliğini değerlendirmektir. Materyal ve Metod: 412 bireye (248 bayan ve 164 erkek) ait KIBT görüntüsü çalışmaya dahil edildi. FM’ un sagittal boyutu (SB), transversal boyutu (TB) ve alanı ölçüldü. klivusun genişlik ve uzunluğu ölçüldü. Veriler, cinsiyet ve yaş için önem düzeyini değerlendirmek amacıyla ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis ve ttestleri ile istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: SB, TB, FM alanı ile klivus genişliği ve uzunluğuna ait ortalama değerler erkeklerde kadınlara nazaran yüksek bulundu. Tüm değişkenler için cinsiyetler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark görüldü (p0.05). Klivusun uzunluğu ile yaş grupları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki ve pozitif korelasyon görüldü (p=0.009, r=0.351). Sonuç: KIBT, FM ve klivus boyutları hakkında değerli bilgiler sağlar ve cinsiyet ayrımında antropometrik ve adli tıp alanında güvenilir bir şekilde kullanılabilir. Ayrıca klivusun uzunluğu da yaş gruplarının belirlenmesinde yardımcı olabilir.
