Whereas, posteriorly growth is due to interstitial growth at spheno-occipital synchondrosis.Cranial base center, sella turcica, forms anterior limb (from sella to nasion) and posterior limb (from sella to
basion) of cranial base; forming an angle of 130o - 135o at sella.
The tracing is slided back to coincide with the new and old nasion to trace nasion area, and similarly, the
basion area is traced [Figure 1].
The maximum anteroposterior diameter (APD) was measured from the
basion (the midpoint of the anterior margin of the FM) to the opisthion (the midpoint of the posterior margin of the FM).
Second, the dystopic os odontoideum is cranially displaced usually fused to the
basion of the clivus.
The plane of the foramen magnum is created by interconnecting the
basion with the opisthion points of the osseous foramen magnum.

Farmers at Qaransho village in
Basion area in Gharbeya Governorate harvested their rice crops in late September, ending a season which they described as "one of the best in recent years".
Anterior boundary: line connecting the anterior nasal spine (ANS) and the apex of the nasal bone; posterior boundary: line extending from sella (S) to posterior nasal spine (PNS); superior boundary: line connecting
basion or the highest point on the nasal bone 1 mm inferior to the edge of the field of view and S; and inferior boundary: line extending from ANS to PNS.
