Key Points

Foramen magnum dimensions significantly change with age and gender in children.
Analysis of sagittal and transverse dimensions using CT scans highlighted these developmental differences.
Morphometric analysis across various ages demonstrated clear patterns influenced by gender.
Understanding these changes may aid in clinical assessments of cranial anatomy in pediatric populations.

Implication

Morphometric analysis reveals foramen magnum dimensions differ by age and gender in children, suggesting developmental patterns.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the development rate of foramen magnum (FM) with age by performing morphometric analysis of FM using computed tomography (CT) examination in children at different ages, accounting for sagittal and transverse dimensions for FM as well as sex.
