Résumé
This study aims to evaluate the accuracy rate of foramen magnum dimensions in determining sex among the South Indian population using discriminant functional analysis. An observational study in which CBCT images from 200 full field of view (FOV) scans were analysed. The dimensions of the foramen magnum were measured. Intra- and interobserver reliability were calculated. Independent A total of 200 CBCT scans were included in the study. The mean age (±SD) was 25.66 (±7.11) years among males and 24.64 (±5.12) years among females. The measurements and the circumference of the foramen magnum were significantly ( Taking into account the predictability rate of sex based on foramen measurement in the present population, it can be concluded that its applicability should be limited to cases associated with fragmentary skull bases.
