“…This suggests that although there are sex differences evident within normal populations, i.e. in randomly selected unrelated individuals (Uthman et al ., 2010; Sai Kiran et al ., 2014; Benghiac et al ., 2015; Michel et al ., 2015; Akhlaghi et al ., 2016; Hamed et al ., 2016; Motawei et al ., 2016; Choi et al ., 2018), the sex differences are not noticeable within families. We do not have to take into account the sex of individuals when investigating family relationships.…”

Biological relationships and frontal sinus similarity in skeletal remains with known genealogical data

Frontal sinus analysis has potential utility for detecting biologically related individuals. However, the methodological approach to its evaluation, as well as its informative value, have been questioned. The aim of this work is to introduce a new approach to evaluating the frontal sinus using the ‘external supraorbital line’ (ESOL) and to determine whether there are sex differences within families in frontal sinus measurements and whether frontal sinus similarity reflects known genetic relationships in both measurements and morphology. We examined the skeletal remains of 41 adult individuals (25 males, 16 females), all members of one family over four generations (19th to 20th centuries), including individuals with very close consanguinity. CT images of skulls were acquired, and both the dimensions and morphology of the frontal sinuses were analyzed using their portions above the ESOL. No significant sex differences were found within families based on frontal sinus dimensions. Significant relationships were found between biological distance and the maximum height and morphology of the frontal sinuses. The greatest degree of similarity was found among closely related individuals. Additionally, in several cases, there was a greater degree of similarity between first cousins or grandparents and their grandchildren than among siblings or parents and their children. Total surface, volume and width are not significant indicators of relatedness. Known genetic relationships are also supported by individual morphological features. Variability within families with very close consanguineous relationships was lower than within families with common degrees of consanguinity, although differences are significant only for some variables.

“…The FS has been considered to be unique in each person (Christensen, ; Yoshino, Miyasaka, Sato & Seta, ) and has been used in forensic medicine for identification of human remains (Cameriere, Ferrante, Molleson & Brown, ; Kim, Lee, Park, Kwak & Han, , Cossellu et al, ; Quatrehomme et al, ). The FS has also been used as a feature for sex prediction (Belaldavar, Kotrashetti, Hallikerimath & Kale, ; Benghiac, Thiel & Haba, ; Hamed, El‐Badrawyb & Fattah, ). Furthermore, the FS morphology has impact in neurosurgical and endoscopic nasal interventions because of its proximity to the orbit and the anterior cranial base (Tubbs et al, ; Ozgursoy et al, ).…”

The significant differences between both series showed a tendency for the persistence of metopic suture to be frequently related with FS underdevelopment in the vertical plate of the frontal bone, but in cases of pneumatization, it was preferentially on the left side. Taking into account that the cranial hypertension leads to suture diastasis and hinders development of the FS, it could be suggested that persistence of the metopic suture along with underdevelopment of the FS in nonsyndromic adults could be an expression of an elevated intracranial pressure during early development as an after-effect of certain condition.

“…Bu teknik avantajların yanında yaşayan bireylerde farklı klinik endikasyonlar ile yüksek sayılarda uygulanan BT görüntülerinin, popülasyon verilerinin oluşturulması için antropometrik çalışmalar için önemli bir kaynak olduğunu düşünüyoruz. Yaşayan bireylerin BT analiz verilerine dayanan morfometrik çalışmalar hem modern toplumların verilerini ortaya koyması hem de buluntu kemiklerin incelenmesi için önerilebilir ve bu konuda giderek artan sayıda çalış-malar mevcuttur (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24).…”

ÖzetAmaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, frontal sinüs boyutlarının bilgisayarlı tomografi ile yapılan ölçüm sonuçlarının, cinsiyetin belirlemesinde yararlılığını değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi'nde maksillofasiyal bilgisayarlı tomografi çekimi yapılan olgular dahil edildi. Transvers çapları (genişlik; RT ve LT) eksensel görüntülerden, ön-arka (derinlik; RAP ve LAP) ve sefalo-kaudal çaplardan (yükseklik; RH ve LH) sagital yeniden biçimlendirilmiş gö-rüntülerden ölçüldü. Hem sol hem de sağ frontal sinüsler için ölçümler yapıldı. Her iki taraf frontal sinüs boyutu bu parametreler kullanılarak elde edildi. Değerler bağımsız t testi ile., değişkenler diskriminant fonksiyon analizi ile değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Çalışma için 400 olgu değerlendirildi (200 erkek 200 kadın, ortalama yaş: 44 ± 18.0) Sol ve sağ ölçümlerin tüm değerleri cinsiyete göre anlamlı fark gösterdi. Erkekler, kadınlara kıyasla belirgin artmış bir ölçüm değeri taşıyordu. (p <0.001) Tekli diskriminasyon analizinde en düşük doğruluk oranı erkeklerde LH için %55.5, kadın-larda RT için %59.5 idi. Kadınlarda LAP (%77.5) ve RAP (%77) ve erkeklerde LAP (%69) en yüksek doğruluk oranlarına sahipti. Yalnızca RAP ve LAP değerleri eklendiğinde diskriminasyon analizinde doğ-ruluk oranı kadınlarda %77.5, erkeklerde %70.5 olarak tespit edildi. Aşamalı diskriminasyon analizinde ölçülen değerlerin hepsi dahil edildiğinde, doğruluk oranı kadınlarda %80.5, erkeklerde %71.5 olarak tespit edildi.Sonuç: Özellikle çok kültürlü toplumlarda frontal sinüs morfometrik çalışmaları kimliklendirme araştırmaları için önemli veriler sağ-layabilir. Veriler, adli tıp uzmanları ve antropologların yanı sıra ilgili anatomik yapılarda endoskopik ve cerrahi işlemler gerçekleştiren kraniyofasiyal cerrahlar ve diş hekimleri için de yararlı olacaktır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Frontal Sinüs; Cinsiyet Tayini; Bilgisayarlı Tomografi.. AbstractObjective: The aim of this study is to evaluate usefulness of results of measurements via computerized tomography of frontal sinus dimensions in sex determination. Materials and methods:In Bakırköy Training and Research Hospital, subjects who had performed maxillofacial computed tomography were included. Transvers diameters (width) were measured from axial images and anterior-posterior (depth) and cephalo-caudal diameters (height) were measured from sagittal reformatted images. Measurements were taken for both left and right frontal sinuses. The size of frontal sinuses on both sides were obtained using these parameters. These values were evaluated with independent t test. The variables were evaluated discrimination function analysis Results: 400 subjects were evaluated (200 males and 200 females) for the study (female/male: 200/200, mean age: 30.12 ± 10.2 years of age). All values for left and right transvers, cephalo-caudal and antero-posterior measurements showed significant differences between the sexes of the subjects. Males had significant increased values than females (p<0.001). In single discriminati...
