Abstract

Determination of sex from the skeletal remains is of medico legal importance for establishing the identity of an individual. The determination of deceased sex is first step in skeletal analysis since estimation of age at death, race,and stature depends on sex of the deceased. Total 100 adult dry skull were of unknown sex available in the Department of Anatomy Santosh medical college and hospital,Gaziabad and Government Institute of Medical Sciences,Greater Noida, were studied. Distance between bregma and lambda were obtained and presence of any sutural bone was observed in bregma. The results were compared with the present literature. Still there is a demand for further research to validate the distance from bregma to lambda for anthropometric use for particular race and various other surgical procedures.
