    Determine through digital tools the sexual dysmorphism in the Andean population of the south of Ecuador. Methods: The surfaces of the foramen magnum were measured in 385 Cone Beam computed tomography (CBCT) with a full window size of the cranial facial mass. The surface of the foramen magnum was measured in axial sections, obtaining length and width values by three observers, the surface of the great hole was calculated through the formulas established by Routal and Teixeira. Results: The measurement of the foramen magnum has a sensitivity close to 70% to determine the sexual dysmorphism of the skulls analyzed. Conclusion: This study validates the digital measurement of the foramen magnum surface obtained from CBCT being a tool to be used in the definition of sex through the cranial bones. It is definitive if the values obtained are in high o low numbers, but you will need a complementary measurement with another structure when intermediate values are present.
