Babych L. Features of the size of the middle cranial fossa, the back leg of the inner capsule and thalamus in healthy young men and girls of different ages and craniotypes.

On the base of the research center of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya, among directed by doctors to the computer-tomographic examination of boys aged from 17 to 21 and girls aged from 16 to 20 in the third generation of residents of the Podillia region of Ukraine with suspected brain diseases in whom the diagnosis was not confirmed after an additional test screening-assessment of the health status (using a special questionnaire) selected 82 practically healthy young men and 86 girls. Using the spiral computer sampler "Select SP", the linear dimensions (longitudinal and transverse) of the middle cranial fossa were determined from the right and left at the level of the tomograms T1 and T2. The longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the thalamus to the right and to the left, as well as the transverse size of the back leg of the inner capsule to the right and to the left, were determined at the level of the T5 of tomogram. Installed age differences computed tomographic (CT) sizes middle cranial fossa (MCF), thalamus and back legs of the internal capsule (BLIC) in practically healthy city boys or girls of Podolia and representatives of various craniotypes. In girls identified significantly fewer and less strength statistically significant correlations of CT-sizes MCF, thalamus and BLIC with anthropometric and somatotypological indices than in boys. In boys and girls of different craniotypes, an analysis of the regression models of CT-sizes of MCF, thalamus and BLIC is constructed and conducted, depending on the anthropometric and somatotypological parameters.
