“…Lee et al reported the incidence of epipteric type of pterion as 40.5% which is very high compared to present study [14]. Ethnic variation was observed in the location of pterion as the average distance from the center of pterion to mid-point on zygomatic arch was 37.40±3.92 mm in the present study, which was less than that mentioned by the Ukoha et al, and Eboh et al, in Nigerian skulls but similar to that reported by Suchit et al, and Hari Prasad et al, in north Indian skulls [6,16,17,19]. The average distance between the center of pterion to fronozygomatic suture, anterosuperior margin of external auditory meatus and inferior point on mastoid process of the present study were similar to the results of North Indian studies.…”
