Correlative Study of Diameter of Carotid Canal with Cranial Index in Maharashtra Population

Background: Diameter of carotid canal is very much important because hypo-plastic CC leads to multiple ofneuro vascular complications, passing through these CC.Method: 45 male, 30 female adult non-pathological, dried crania were studied. The cranial Index was measuredby winged calliper and diameter by digital verniercalliper. obtained values correlated statistically.Results: Mean value CI 64.09 (± 0.35) in 70.06 0.98) females rt.
