Özet
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the localization and morphometry of important points such as the nasion, lambda, superciliary arch, lambdaid suture, and occipitomastoid suture using bregma as the reference point among the prominent superficial landmarks of the neurocranium. We believe that distinguishing these external points in radiological imaging and guiding surgical interventions will be beneficial. Methods: This study was conducted on dry skulls in the student laboratory of the Department of Anatomy, Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine. A total of 52 skulls of unknown age, gender, and population were examined. However, 21 damaged skulls were excluded due to lack of integrity, and a total of 31 skulls were evaluated. On these materials, anatomical landmarks such as the bregma. pterion, asterion, nasion, lambda, superciliary arch, lambdoid suture, and occipitomastoid suture were identified, measurements were made, and the presence of wormian bones was recorded. Results: Among the 31 dry skulls examined, the bregma-nasion distance ranged from 92 to 120 mm (108.3±7.3 mm), and the bregma-lambda distance ranged from 92 to 127 mm (107±7 mm). The bregma-pterion distance was 82 to 110 mm on the right side (91±6 mm) and 81 to 105 mm on the left side (91±5 mm). The bregma-superciliary arch distance ranged from 82 to 110 mm on the right (98±7 mm) and 84 to 109 mm on the left (98±7 mm). The nasion-lambda distance ranged from 184 to 245 mm (215.4±12.3 mm). Warmian bones were observed in all skulls analyzed. Among the regions examined, the lambdoid suture was the most common site for wormian bones, whereas the bregma region showed the lowest occurrence. Conclusions: The measurements obtained from this study provide current data on the region's anatomy and may guide the planning of surgical interventions.
