The objective of the study was to explore the morphometry of the sphenoidal region in the Peruvian population, with an emphasis on understanding its specific anatomical characteristics and providing quantitative data for the planning of transsphenoidal surgery.
Methods: A cross-sectional study included a random sample of 81 cases of healthy individuals who presented to the Radiology Department of a Private Hospital Center in Peru over 1 year.
Article Synopsis
- The foramen magnum, located at the base of the skull, is important for understanding certain medical conditions and improving surgical techniques, especially in the context of Peruvian ancestry.* -
- The research involved measuring the foramen magnum on 17 skulls from Peru, using standard anthropometric methods to gather data on its dimensions.* -
- The study found that the average size of the foramen magnum in Peruvians differs from previous studies, suggesting unique anatomical features that could inform better diagnostic and treatment approaches in healthcare.*
