Anthropo-metric and craniometric parameters in patients with posterior cranial fossa tumors

Objective: to reveal anthropometric and craniometric features of patients with posterior fossa tumors. Material and methods. The study group included 115 patients with posterior cranial fossa tumors. The comparison group consisted of 40 healthy women. We used the Rees - Eysenck body index for somatotype diagnosis. We calculated craniometric parameters, cephalic and posterior fossa indices and detected the posterior cranial fossa shapes. Results. There was a tendency to increase a proportion of asthenics and to decrease in picnics. The occipitofrontal diameter (174.0 [170.3; 176.4] и 177.6 [172.3; 181.6] mm)) and the tentorial angle (88.0 [84.2; 92.9] и 90.0 mm [86.0; 98.1]) in the study group are smaller (p
