Study of ethmoidal foramina are important in orbital surgeries, surgeries of anterior cranial fossa and in endonasal micro surgeries of ethmoidal region. The present study was undertaken to provide anaotomical morphometric data which will guide surgeons in locating these foramina during different surgeries. We measured the distances between all the ethmoidal foramina and the optic canal from the frontomaxillary suture. We also noted the number, location and presence or absence of these foraminas.
