Abstract

Correspondence to: Erika Nagle, Dzirciema ielâ 16, Riga, LV-1007 Latvia. E-mail: erika.nagle@rsu.lv Craniofacial anthropometrics has become an important tool used by genetic counsellors and in reconstructive surgery. In genetic counselling, it is necessary to identify dysmorphic syndromes as accurately as possible. Nevertheless, dysmorphic characters are usually reported by clinicians mainly in descriptive terms. Anthropometrical measurements can overcome these problems. The aim of this study was to show variations of craniofacial parameters in normal (without any family history of craniofacial or other genetic malformations) Latvian residents. Materials and methods. Craniofacial anthropometrical measurements (total 38) have been studied in healthy Latvian residents. For this study, 77 individuals were examined. All measurements were made by one observer and performed with the GPM anthropological Instruments, Siber Hegner & Co.AG. All parameters were compared between males and females and between two ethnically different groups – Latvians and nonLatvians. Results. Statistical analysis (p < 0.05) showed a strong sexrelated morphology in the craniofacial complex (higher values in males were observed in the parameters used to characterize head and face). However, several parameters such as orbital depth, mandible body length, nose height, ala thickness, upper and lower vermilion height showed no significant differences between males and females. No significant differences in these parameters between Latvians and non-Latvians were obtained. Conclusions. Our measurements can provide the basic framework for estimating the craniofacial standards of Latvian population. Anthropometrical measurements should be continued to establish craniofacial standards for diagnostic and treatment planning needs of Latvian adults.
