Background: Morphometric analysis of ventricular system is helpful in the diagnosis and classification of hydrocephalus and in the assessment and follow-up of enlargement of ventricular system during therapy (ventricular shunts). Present study was aimed to study morphometric assessment of the external anatomy of fourth ventricle & dorsal brainstem. Material and Methods: Present study was descriptive, observational study, conducted in apparently normal brain specimens from human cadavers with known age and sex. The brainstem was separated and the measurements of fourth ventricle & cadaver brainstem were made using millimeter rulers. Results: In present study among 60 fresh adult human cadavers, height & width of fourth ventricle was comparable among male & females, difference was not significant statistically.  Various brainstem measurements were comparable among male & females, difference was not significant statistically. Conclusion: Baseline anatomical baseline data helps in interpreting pathological changes, planning surgery, and determining presence and progress of some neurological diseases.

Background: Talocrural joint is one of the most important joint that has evolved significantly. The entire weight of the body is taken up by these joints and that’s why it had to evolve on an enormous scale. This study puts in a sincere effort to understand the anatomical and morphological aspect of the ligaments and its articular surfaces. Aims and Objectives: To study the anatomy and morphometry of a. Tibiotalar and fibulotalar articulations. b. Ligaments of the talocrural joint. Materials and Methods: Thirty formalin fixed human ankles were dissected which was available in the Department of Anatomy, which included nineteen male and eleven female specimen. Male and female ankles were categorized and also right from the left. Results: The morphometric analysis, squatting facets analysis and the radiological analysis has been done and reported. Conclusion: The results provide conclusive evidence that the difference is there in some aspects when compared to that of the other study.
