The aim of this work was to study the correlation between the linear dimensions of the posterior cranial fossa and linear and angular parameters of the skull, depending on the magnitude of basilar angle. Material studies provided one hundred skulls of adult humans, divided into three craniotypes. Used by craniotopometric method measurements of these parameters with subsequent calculation of estimated average values and drawing the correlation model. The results showed that the most intimate degree of multidirectional communication studied parameters were observed in platibasilar craniotype have flexibasilar craniotype strong positive dependence is present in the width of the posterior fossa, the mediobasilar craniotipe connection parameters predominantly moderate and mild. Dimensions cerebellar pits exposed to greater variability
