MORPHOLOGICAL RELATION BETWEENTHE INDEX OF FORAMEN
MAGNUM (FM) AND CRANIAL INDEX

Özet
Kafatası ve Foramen Magnum (FM)’dan elde edilen ölçüler birçok çalışmada incelenmesine karşın bu çalışmaların bir çoğunda kadavralar ve röntgen filmleri kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırmalardan elde edilen sonuçlar, klinik çalışmalarda ve ameliyatlarda kullanılmak üzere büyük önem taşımaktadırlar. FM’nin boyutları birçok hastalığın habercisi olabilmekle beraber adli bilimlerde ve ırksal çalışmalarda kullanılabilmektedir. Bu çalışmadaki temel hedef, FM’nin morfolojik yapısını ve varyasyonlarını ortaya koymaktan çok, ölçülebilen özelliklerinin kafatasından elde edilen metrik değerler ile karşılaştırması esasına dayanmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı Foramen Magnum (FM) ölçülerinden yola çıkarak kafatası boyutları hakkında bir fikir yürütmek, hatta bu ilişkiyi formüle etmektir. Belirlenen örneklemin tümü Hacettepe Üniversitesi Biyolojik Antropoloji Laboratuvarında bulunan bazı iskelet serilerine ait kafataslarından oluşmaktadır. Buna göre 8 farklı kazı alanından gün ışığna çıkarılan toplam 120 kafatası; kafatasının en büyük uzunluğu (sagital diameter), kafatasının en büyük genişliği (transverse diameter), benzer biçimde foramen magnum (FM)’dan, en büyük uzunluk (sagital diameter), ve bu ölçümü dik kesen en büyük genişlikler (transverse diameter) milimetrik olarak ölçülmüştür. Bu değişkenler, genişlik x 100 / uzunluk formülüne yerleştirilerek kafatası ve foramen magnum (FM)’a ait endisler hesaplanmıştır. Materyalin % 63,3’ünü erkekler, % 27,5’ini kadınlar ve % 9,2’sini bebek ve çocuklar oluşturmaktadır. Elde edilen ölçümlere pearson analizi ve farklılıkların ortaya konması için student-t testi ve descriptive istatistikleri uygulanmıştır. Erkeklerin kafatası ve FM ortalama değerlerinin beklenildiği üzere kadınlardan % 5 anlamlılık düzeyinde daha büyük olduğu görülmüştür. Kafatası maksimum genişliği ve FM maksimum genişliği arasındaki pearson correlation coefficient değeri 0.293 olarak hesaplanmıştır ve bu değer de istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p: 0.003). Aynı şekilde FM maksimum uzunluğu ile kafatası maksimum uzunluğu arasındaki ilişki katsayısı 0.239 olarak hesaplamıştır, bu değer de istatistiki olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p: 0.016).
Introduction
There are many studies about the dimensions of the human skull and foramen magnum (FM) on cadavers and roentenograms. Size of the foramen magnum gives important information concerning the etiology of various clinical

conditions like achondroplasia, cerebellar herniation and neurologic diseases.1 Apart from clinical studies, dimensions of the FM have been used for sex determination in forensic medicine and anthropological analyses.2
This study is based more on the comparison of metric characteristics of FM and the skull then to introduce variations and morphological composition of FM. During the forensic and anthropologic exhumation of human burials, usually the skull is damaged except its base and the occipital bone. For this reason, these parts can be used for sex determination, cranial volume calculation and analyses of various pathologies on individuals. Aim of this study is to find a correlation and morever a mathematical formulation between the FM dimensions and dimensions of the skull in archaeological materials. For this reason possible relation between measurements and calculated indexes obtained from both skull and FM were examined statistically.
Material and Method
All the measures are taken from the skulls of some skeletal series haused at the Biological Anthropology Labouratory, Hacettepe University. There were no limitations about the materials to represent the same period since our aim was to test the relationship of measurable values. 120 skulls found in 8 different sites were measured (Tab. 1). All the measurements were made using compasses of the GPM Anthropologische Instrumente, Siber Hegner Maschinen AG company, Switzerland.
The material choice was performed with random distribution and among the samples 63,3 % were male, 27,5 % were female and 9,2 % were children and babies (Tab. 2). Differences between males and females was also investigated in which babies and children were excluded. Relation between the variables was assesed with Pearson analysis, differences were established with student-t test and descriptive statistics were performed.
Especially the skeletons from the Salattepe and Andaval excavations were fragmented and some measurements could not be made. Sex and age of the individuals were detected using the epiphyses, closing state of the cranial sutures, teeth eruption for children and teeth wear, development of the ribs and pubic sympyhsis, for the adults.3 4 anthropometric measurements were taken from the skulls. The greatest length of the skulls (sagittal diameter) was measured between the glabella (the most anterior point of the fore-head in the midline at the level of the supra-orbital ridges.) and opisthocranion (the posterior-most point of the skull in the median saggitale plane), the largest width between euryon (the points of greatest breadth of the brain case perpendicular to the median sagittal plane. The point is taken on parietal eminences above temporals) was measured between the parietal protuberances. Similarly, the greatest length (sagittal diameter) of the foramen magnum (FM) was measured between the basion (midpoint of the anterior margin of the foramen magnum) and opisthion (midpoint of the posterior margin of the foramen magnum) and greatest width (transverse diameter) was measured 90 degrees to the sagittal diameter in milimeters.4 Indexes for the skull and FM were calculated by the formula width x 100 / length.

Results
Initial analyses were performed excluding the babies and children. The main statistics for the adults are given at Table 3 and 4. Analysis were done discarding the sex differences and also performed for different sexes. Using the student-t test the dimensions in the males were significantly 5% greater than the females.
In order to show the possible corelation between the skull and FM diameters, Pearson correlation values were calculated for both measurements. 0,293 and this values was statistically significant (p: 0,003). Similarly Pearson correlation values between the skull transverse diameter and FM transverse diameter was 0,239 and this values was also statistically significant (p: 0,016). Scatter diagrams for width and length for both values are shown below (Grp.1 and Grp. 2).
The relation seems to be linear in the graphs but the linear regression model is not significant for the values. Although the Pearson correlation values were significant statistically, the changes in the measurements of the skull can not be explained using merely the measurements of FM. Additional explanations are required for the situation. Similar analyses were made on different sex groups but significant results could not be obtained.
Upon general view, the model and coefficients are valuable but since the measurement values are small and scatter graphs are irregular, this model seems inappropriate for assessment purposes.
Discussion
Acer et al.5 have found a well correlation between the intracranial volume, skull dimensions and foramen magnum surface area. The statistical difference between this study and our results may be due to the “height” variable which was not measured in our skulls.
In our material, the dimensions of the foramen magnum are greater in men than womenwhich is supported by many other studies.6 On the other hand, Lugoba and Wood, in their study on FM position in higher primates, have not found difference in different sexes.
The length (35,9 mm) and width (30,0 mm) of FM in our material were almost identical to the dimensions found by Mursdhed et al.7 (35,9 mm lenght and 30,4 mm width) in accordance to the dimensions found by Kızılkanat et al.8 (34,8 mm lenght and 29,6 mm width), Wanebo and Chicoine9 (36,0 mm lenght and 31,0 mm width), Olivera et al.10 (34,5 mm lenght and 29,4 mm width) whereas they were different from the dimensions found by Muthukumar et al.11 (33,3 mm lenght and 27,9 mm width), Berge and Bergman12 (33,8 mm lenght and 28,3 mm width) (Tab. 5).

The index found by Kızılkanat et al. is different from ours due to the formulation in their study. Kızılkanat et al.13 calculated the index by the formula: length/width whereas our anthropometric FM index14 is calculated by the formula: width x 100 / length.
