Anthropometric Evaluation of Cranial Indexes.

Abstract

Introduction: Craniometric measurements are used in anatomy, anthropometry and surgical fields, especially in maxillofacial and plastic surgery.The aim of this study was to investigate the cranial index values anthropometrically and to contribute to the literature data.Material and methods: For this purpose, 30 cranium bones with unknown age and gender belonging to Anatomy Department, Faculty of Medicine and University of Cukurova were used.Results: In this study, maximum cranial width, maximum cranial length, bizygomatic width, cranial height, upper face height and minimum frontal width were measured.The mean and standard deviation values of the measured values are; 139.15 ± 9.89, 172.20 ± 7.90, 125.24 ± 9.47, 126.07 ± 6.23, 65.07 ± 5.40, 95.33 ± 5.09 mm, respectively.By using these values, cranial index, transverse cranio -facial index, cranial height -width index, cranial height -length index, upper facial index and fronto -parietal index values were calculated.The mean and standard deviation of index values are 81.59 ± 5.60, 90.21 ± 6.69, 92.30 ± 6.16, 73.73 ± 3.79, 52.61 ± 5.52, 68.76 ± 4.86 mm, respectively. Conclusions:The results of our study were classified and compared with the studies performed in different populations.We believe that the obtained data will contribute to the research and literature data in clinical areas.
