Guest guest Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hello fellow forum members. I have been seeing several posts over the last few days talking about measurements of Tonsillar Descent and measurements of other parts of the skull. I did go visit The Chiari Institute on March 1, 2011, earlier this year. In my Report that I received from the Neurologist Doctor Kula, one page of the report dealt with all these measurements and was titled " Morphometrics " . I believe morphometrics simply means the scientific study of the shape and sizes of objects and organisms. Anyway in my Morphometrics Report, my Foramen Magnum was measured in both the AP and TR directions and was found to be enlarged. Has anyone else been diagnosed with an enlarged foramen magnum and what would be the significance of wanting to know that you have an enlarged foramen magnum ? Is it good or bad that you have an enlarged foramen magnum ? Any knowledge of this is appreciated. Ken from Neptune, New Jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
