The article presents indicators of volume and square of ethmoidal labyrinth according to the method of intravital definition of craniometric parameters using a computer programme that allows defining standard craniometric sizes of the cranium among living people with exact accuracy, using computer tomograph’s data. The results of dimensions of ethmoidal labyrinth were obtained in 200 three-dimensional models of craniums of living people without pathology of paranasal sinuses. The dependence of obtained data on sex, form of the calvaria, base of the cranium, facial skull and form of the nose has been studied. Volume and area of the ethmoidal labyrinth depend on the shape of the cranium, skull base, gender, to a lesser extent on the shape of the facial skull, and there is no dependence on the shape of the nose. The reliability of the proposed new method of craniometry and data obtained herewith allow recommending a method for widespread use.

Key words: ethmoidal labyrinth, craniometry, computer tomography, three-dimensional modeling.
