[Hypertelorism: Cranioscopic and Craniometric Characteristics].

OBJECTIVE

A detailed cranioscopic and craniometric analysis of a skull with hypertelorism from the collection of the Department of Normal Anatomy at the S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy. This analysis compared the forensic anthropological analysis with standard parameters and highlighted the role of museum materials in the study of craniofacial anomalies.

MATERIAL AND

METHODS

The object of the study was the skull of an adult male. Classic craniometric methods were used. Particular attention was paid to interorbital distance measurements and nasal parameters. A cranioscopic visual examination was performed, documenting morphological abnormalities.

RESULTS AND

CONCLUSION

The skull was found to belong to a Caucasian male aged 54.5±7.0 years. Characteristic signs of orbital hypertelorism with craniometric values exceeding standard values were identified, confirming the diagnosis of true orbital hypertelorism.
