To note the morphological variations and morphometric details of foramina ovale in dry adult skulls of Indian origin.
82 dry adult human skulls of unknown sex and of Indian origin were obtained and variations in appearance and number of foramen ovale were noted. The length and width of the foramina ovale of both sides were determined using digital Vernier calipers and area (A) was also calculated and analyzed.
Out of 82 adult skulls, the values for the right side was 7.64 ± 1.194 mm, 5.128 ± 0.827 mm and 30.808 ± 7.545 mm2 and for the left side the values was 7.561 ± 1.123 mm, 5.244 ± 0.950 mm and 31.310 ± 8.262 mm2 respectively, for the mean length, width and area of the foramen ovale. The shape of foramen was typically ovale in most of the skulls (56.70%) with some bony variations such as spine, tubercles etc.
There was no statistically significant difference between the two sides in length, width and area of foramen ovale and there was a positive correlation between lengths and areas of both sides.
记录印度裔成年干燥颅骨中卵圆孔的形态变异和形态测量细节。
获取82具性别未知的印度裔成年干燥人类颅骨，记录卵圆孔外观和数量的变异情况。使用数字游标卡尺测定两侧卵圆孔的长度和宽度，并计算和分析面积（A）。
在82具成年颅骨中，卵圆孔右侧的平均长度、宽度和面积值分别为7.64 ± 1.194毫米、5.128 ± 0.827毫米和30.808 ± 7.545平方毫米，左侧的相应值分别为7.561 ± 1.123毫米、5.244 ± 0.950毫米和31.310 ± 8.262平方毫米。在大多数颅骨（56.70%）中，卵圆孔形状典型为椭圆形，伴有一些骨质变异，如棘、结节等。
卵圆孔两侧的长度、宽度和面积在统计学上无显著差异，两侧的长度与面积之间存在正相关。
