The aim of this research is to evaluate mastoid process using human skull for determination of sex. The main purpose of this research is the ability to examine and determine the sex for unidentified using mastoid process.50 male and 50 female undamaged skulls were examined. The parameters like mastoid process size and index were examined. Usually mastoid process is larger in males than in females. But mastoid process index is more in female than in male. This the basic concept for identification. Discriminant function analysis revealed that mastoid process correctly classified the sex in 90 percent of the subjects and mastoid length was found to be the best determinant for sex. A discriminant function equation specific for the present study skeletal population has also been derived from the variables. Intensive insulin therapy has proven effective to delay and sometimes prevent the progression of complications such as nephropathy, neuropathy or retinopathy. However, it is difficult to achieve and maintain long term in most subjects, either for compliance issues or for the increased risk of severe hypoglycaemic episodes, With these antecedents, the purpose of this study is to determine the existence of sexual dimorphism in the dimensions and the area of the mastoid triangle, measured directly in the skull, by means of statistical and discriminant function analysis.Keywords

Background: Foramen spinosum is an important opening on the infratemporal surface of the greater wing of sphenoid bone and lies posterior to the foramen ovale. It transmits the middle menengial vessels and nervous spinosum. It can be identified both from the interior and exterior of the skull base.
Aim: To Understand the anatomy and Morphometry of the foramen spinosum in different skulls of South Indian population and to determine the exact range of measurement, the variations, asymmetry and inequality of size seen in foramen spinosum.
Materials and Method: Thirty dry skulls were examined for the foramen spinosum in the middle cranial fossa and at the extra cranial view at the skull base. The type of foramen spinosum will be classified according to its shape. The data were recorded and tabulated.
Results: The mean length of foramen spinosum was 2.534 ± 0.610 mm and the mean width was 2.36 ± 0.57 mm. Conclusion: The study showed variations in the size and shape and irregularity affecting the margins of the foramen spinosum.
