169 skulls were examined in adults and 58 in children to study variability of parameters and shape of anterior trabecular (sphenoethmoidal) and posterior parachordal (auriculo-occipital) regions of human skull, the border between which is drawn through openings of trigeminal nerve branches. Spatial coordinates of these foramina and anterior and posterior points of trabecular and parachordal regions were obtained using stereocraniobasiometer. The maps of all the regions were plotted. Age, sex, individual and bilateral variability of these structures was examined. The point, located in medial sagittal projection on the line that unites right and left round openings is of minimal variability and can be used as a central one in comparative cranium examination.
