The ancient thought about body facts are highly appreciable. There are separate channels for carrying various bio-elemnts in the body. Blood is a very important entity carried through the Sira. These are pervaded throughout the body. These are even constituting the corpus of marma sthan and also nourish the same. Sushruta has explored most vulnerable 107 areas ( Marma point) on the human body and cautioned the surgeons community while operating over these marma points. The traumatic effects of such vulnerable points are beautifully described in Ayurvedic applied anatomy. However, there is a need to understand these vital points in terms of morphology and morbidity. Shrungataka Marma is one among them, situated within the skull, vulnerable for injury leads to instant death or death within seven days. In this article an effort is made to understand this marma in the per view of structures, mortality and morbidity by reviewing the classical, contemporary and published clinical data for substantiation.
