The cranial base is an important anatomical area containing major structures such as vessels,nerves,etc. Approaching the cranial base structure is a challenging task for the surgeons during surgical procedures. Surgery of cranial base is done to remove cancerous and non cancerous growths and other abnormalities. And also the morphometric studies at the cranial base is important to approach cranial base foramina and also it is useful in anthropological studies. The aim of the study is to analyse the cranial base through morphometric procedures. The present study has adopted 30 Indian dry skulls to analyse the cranial base. For measuring the cranial base vernier caliper was used. The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy,Saveetha Dental College,Chennai. The present study thus concluded that the morphometric analysis of cranial base is of utmost importance in anthropological studies and surgical procedure.
