ABSTRACT
In this study, it was aimed to determine the reliable morphometric data of the important bone structures on skull base using MDCT and to establish the differences of these data according to sex and lateralization. This study was retrospectively carried out on MDCT images in the Radiology Department of Meram Medical Faculty, Necmettin Erbakan University. We evaluated the images of the 100 (male 50 ­ female 50) adult subjects without cranial trauma, surgery, and any deformity of the bone. The height and anteroposterior diameter of the hypophysial fossa (HFheight, HFanteroposterior), the length of the occipital condylus, anterior and posterior intercondylar distances (OCn, AID, PID); sagittal diameter, transverse diameter and area of the foramen magnum (FMsgt, FMtrn, FMarea) were all measured. The statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS. The summary of the data was expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Student's t test was used to compare the male-female and right-left measurements. The relation betweeen parameters was evaluated by Pearson's correlation test. It was observed that right and left data in all parameters were higher in males than females. Higher values were usually determined on the right side in both sexes. In both sexes, some parameters were highly correlated (P<0.001). We believe that the results of this study may be useful for new surgical approaches and radiological assessment concerning skull base.
RESUMEN
El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar datos morfométricos confiables de las estructuras óseas importantes de la base de cráneo mediante tomografía computarizada multidetector (TCMD) y establecer las diferencias de estos datos en función del sexo y lateralización. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo a partir de imágenes de TCMD obtenidas en el Departamento de Radiología de la Facultad de Medicina Meram, Universidad de Necmettin Erbakan. Se evaluaron imágenes de 100 sujetos adultos (50 hombres y 50 mujeres), que no presentaban trauma craneal, cirugía o deformidad ósea. Se midieron (i) altura y diámetro anteroposterior de la fosa hipofisaria, (ii) longitud del cóndilo occipital y distancias intercondilares anterior y posterior, y (iii) el diámetro sagital, transversal y el área del foramen magno. El resumen de los datos se expresó como Media±DE. La comparación de los datos entre sexos y mediciones izquierda-derecha se realizó mediante la prueba t de Student, mientras que la relación entre los distintos parámetros mediante la prueba de correlación de Pearson. Todos los parámetros medidos, en el lado derecho e izquierdo, fueron mayores en hombres. Los valores más altos se determinaron generalmente en el lado derecho en ambos sexos. Algunos parámetros estuvieron altamente correlacionados en ambos sexos (P<0,001). Creemos que nuestros resultados pueden ser útiles al momento de realizar nuevos abordajes quirúrgicos y en la evaluación radiológica, relativas a la base de cráneo.
