Marma is vital point where injury occur can lead to disability, dysfunctioning or even termination of life. It is not much developed in modern science. Acharya sushruta and vagbhata have explained it in detail in Sharirasthana of their respective samhitas. Almost all the samhitas of ayurveda have mentioned the total number of marma as 107. Marma’ s are the conglomeration of Mamsa, Sira, Snayu, Asthi and Sandhi. Little injuries to these marma points or anatomical areas can be fetal comparing with major injuries at anywhere else in the body. So detailed knowledge of these marma points is crucial for ayurveda learners. Depending upon after-effect of injury to Marmas, there are five types like Sadhyapranahara, Kalantara pranahara, Vishalyaghna, Vaikalyakara, Rujakara. Out of them Vaikalyakara marmas are the points where injury causes structural or functional deformity. Here we try to compare ayurvedic marmas with modern science with the similarity of some sign and symptoms may be observed due to injury on that marma sthan.
