“…Moreover, there are quite a lot of craniofacial anthropometric measurements, angles, and ratios. Although there are studies in which craniofacial anthropometric parameters are evaluated collectively in the literature, 25 it is also seen that there are studies that separately examine specific structures such as the orbital region, 19,26 lips, 27 nose, 23 and external ear 13 to obtain more detailed results and to evaluate more specifically.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the external ear values in Turkish young adults with 2-dimensional photogrammetry. Methods: One hundred males and 100 females aged between 18 and 25 years were included in the study. Individuals were photographed from both sides. Ear length (superaurel-subaurel, spa-sba), ear width (preaurel-postaurel, pra-pa), and the angle between the vertical axis of the auricle and the line between spa and sba (ear incline angle, eia) were measured in these photographs. Also, auricular index (pra-pa/spa-sba×100) was calculated. Results: The average values of the spa-sba, pra-pa, eia, and auricular index were found as 65.46±4.68 mm, 37.89±3.61 mm, 19.40±4.83 degrees, and 57.93±4.53 in males and 60.90±5.35 mm, 35.62±3.69 mm, 17.95±4.86 degrees, and 58.65±5.29 in females, respectively. While the values of spa-sba (P=0.001 for the right side and P=0.001 for the left side), pra-pa (P=0.001 for the right side and P=0.001 for the left side), and eia (P=0.024 for the right side and P=0.041 for the left side) were statistically higher for males than females, there was no statistically significant difference between the sex and the auricular index (P=0.404 for the right side and P=0.955 for the left side). Besides, there was no statistically significant difference between the sides for these 4 parameters (P=0.760, 0.409, 0.225, and 0.521, respectively). Conclusion: The authors believe that the results obtained for Turkish young adults can be used as reference values, which can be used in the diagnosis, follow, or surgical treatment of many diseases, forensic procedures, and planning esthetic surgery procedures.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) consist of a complex group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterised by qualitative impairments of social interactions, communication abilities, and a limited, stereotyped, and repetitive selection of interests and activities. In light of the imperative to identify a possible biomarker for ASD, it has been determined that craniofacial anomalies serve as significant risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders. The aim of this scoping review is to deepen the knowledge of the scientific literature related to cranio-facial characteristics in individuals with ASD, with a particular focus on recent research advancements. The review was performed by employing the search strings ((“Autism Spectrum Disorder” OR autism OR ASD OR “Autism Spectrum”) AND (“facial morphology” OR “facial phenotype”)) on the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and ERIC as of March 9, 2023. The review comprised seven studies whose findings were obtained through quantitative analysis of Euclidean distances between anatomical landmarks. The examination of facial abnormalities represents a possible reliable diagnostic biomarker that could aid in the timely identification of ASD. Phenotypic characteristics that may serve as predictive indicators of the severity of autistic symptoms can be observed in certain individuals with ASD by applying anthropometric and instrumental measurements. The presence of a phenotype characterised by an increased intercanthal distance and a reduced facial midline height appears to be associated with a higher degree of severity in autistic symptoms. In addition, it is worth noting that facial asymmetry and facial masculinity can be considered reliable indicators for predicting a more severe manifestation of symptoms.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate whether there may be differences in the measurements of the orbital region between healthy children and children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: In this study, the orbital region measurements of 310 children, including 130 ADHD children and 180 healthy children aged 7 to 11 years, were analyzed. For this analysis, anterior view photographs of these individuals were used. For both sides, endocanthion (en), exocanthion (ex), and pupil (p) were determined in these photographs. A total of 5 distances (ex-ex, en-en, ex-en for the right side, ex-en for the left side and p-p) were analyzed using these points. Results: In both sexes, no statistically significant difference was observed between the 2 groups in all 6 parameters analyzed. Conclusion: Although it was concluded that there was no difference in orbital measurements between healthy children and children with ADHD in this study, it was thought that a definite conclusion could not be reached because the cases examined belonged to a single center. Therefore, it is thought that multicenter studies in which more individuals are evaluated are needed.
