“…Anthropometric analysis aims to provide the most reliable comparison of body forms by using specific landmarks determined in respect of anatomical prominences. It is now easier to discuss the differences between ethnic and racial groups, and to compare individual variations in both sexes 2 . Anthropometric measurements of the nose is one of the most visible organs on the face and its appearance contributes enormously to facial aesthetics [3][4] .…”

“…Knowledge of the unique shape, anatomy and dimensions of the nose would be very useful for surgeons undertaking repair and reconstruction of the nose 7 . Anthropometric methods and surgical practice have now merged to treat congenital or posttraumatic facial disfigurements in various racial or ethnic groups successfully 2 . Nasoplasty surgeons require access to facial data based on accurate anthropometric measurements to perform optimum correction 2 .…”

Background: Naso-aural Inclination most prominent structure of the face, influencing facial appearance and profile. Objective: The aim of the study was to describe anthropometric analysis between naso-aural inclination and their correlation in Bangladeshi Buddhist Rakhain Ethnic females. Methodology: This cross-sectional observational study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2011 to December 2011 for a period of one (01) year. Adult healthy Bangladeshi Buddhist Rakhain females in the age group of 18 to 30 years were included as study population. Standard of normative facial anthropometric values related to nose inclination and ear inclination were measured. Result: A total number of 100 adult healthy Bangladeshi Buddhist Rakhain females were recruited for this study. The mean nose inclination was 29.85±5.59 degree and ear inclination left was 11.93±3.44 degree. Conclusion: In conclusion the standard of normative facial anthropometric values related to nose inclination is significantly greater than ear inclination among the Bangladeshi Buddhist Rakhain females.

“…Rynn et al [13] method was tested on a Central European sample (n=86) and showed good performance with a low error of variance [16]. However, the morphological structure of the nose is an important feature to establish a biological profile including the ethnicity [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In addition, facial proportions, head shapes and head forms vary with race [27,28].…”

Prediction of nasal morphology in facial reconstruction: Validation and recalibration of the Rynn method

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Prediction of the nose from the skull remains an important issue in forensic facial approximation. In 2010, Rynn et al. published a method of predicting nose projection from the skull. With this method, three craniometric measurements (x, y, z) are taken, and these are then used in regression formulae to estimate the nasal dimensions. Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine and test the accuracy of the Rynn et al. method and if necessary to adapt the formulae for this population. Subjects and methods: A sample of 90 CT scans of Turkish adults was used in the study. The actual and predicted dimensions were compared using t-test. The age of the individuals ranged from 20 to 40 years by sex. Results: The descriptive statistics and correlations were calculated, and the actual and predicted measurements were compared. The differences between the actual and predicted values were statistically significant (p<0.01), with −1 mm for males and −1.5 mm for females. Validation accuracies ranged from 76-92% in females and 72-82% in males. Recalibration equation accuracies ranged from 88-100% in females and 90-100% in males. Conclusion: The results showed that the recalibration of the Rynn et al. method and its formulae gave satisfactory results with less error and can be employed in facial approximation cases.

“…4 A source of error in these studies was observer error in locating the landmarks with insufficient reliability of identification of soft tissue landmarks on photogrammetry. 5 Two studies that aimed at morphometric assessment measured the effect of spreader grafts on nasal dorsal width on two-dimensional (2D) photographs of patients based on estimating dorsal width on the photographs. 6,7 In these studies, a line representing the perceived width was drawn or marked points on perceived dorsal aesthetic lines were connected, respectively.…”

Both intended and unintended surgical modifications of nasal width and shape of the nasal tip continue to be of interest to the rhinoplasty surgeon. As validated instruments for quantifying width and boxiness are lacking, the objective of this study was to introduce a width index and a boxiness index for the nasal dorsum and the nasal tip. A width index and a boxiness index were defined within the methodological limits of noncontact sonography. The reliability of both indices was studied by comparing the measurements of two examiners on the noses of five volunteers. The validity of the indices was studied by correlating the sonographic width and boxiness with the 5-point Likert scale ratings of photographs of 5 noses by 21 lay persons. Nasal width was defined as the diameter at a distance of 5 mm from the skin surface on a sonographic cross-section perpendicular to the skin surface. Boxiness was defined as the quotient of width at a depth of 1 and 5 mm. Bland-Altmann analysis revealed negligible bias between both examiners and 95% of limits of agreement of 13, 7, and 13% for width at 1 mm, width at 5 mm, and boxiness, respectively. Corresponding Pearson's correlation coefficients were = 0.93, = 0.93, and = 0.71. The correlation between the cumulative lay persons' scores and sonographic width and boxiness were = 0.97, = 0.66, and = 0.81 for nasal tip width, dorsal width, and boxiness, respectively. Both the width at a depth of 5 mm as measured with sonography and the boxiness index that is defined as width at a depth of 1 mm divided by the width at a depth of 5 mm may prove to be acceptable surrogate parameters for width and boxiness of the nose in comparative morphometric studies.
