“…Abdelaleem et al [1] conducted a study on gender determination from the PA length, PA width and PA area in the Egyptian population (age range 19-78 years) by using 3D CT. PA length was found to be 38.24 ± 7.82 mm, 35.12 ± 6.05 mm, PA width 30.53 ± 6.68 mm and 27.08 ± 2.88 mm, in males and females, respectively. In this study, measurements revealed that males presented with significantly greater mean values than females.…”

Background: The purpose of study was to evaluate normal morphometric measurements of piriform aperture (PA) by limiting the age range in genders to show the morphometry of the relevant and close proximal cranial structures; and also to investigate whether these are in compliance with the golden ratio. Materials and methods: Our study was performed on 83 (42 female, 41 male) multidetector computed tomography images obtained from patients. A total of 14 morphological measurements were performed including the height of PA, the width of PA and 12 cranial structures; and these measurements were evaluated for compliance with the golden ratio. The differences of 14 parameters between the genders and age groups, and also the interaction of these two factors were analysed. Results: In our morphometric study, significant difference between the genders was found in all measurements except for the distance between vertex and rhinion (V~Rh), between rhinion and right foramen supraorbitalis (Rh~FSO R), between rhinion and left FSO (Rh~FSO L), and the width of PA on the level between the right and left foramen infraorbitalis (PAW~FIO) with the difference valid for both age subgroups (p < 0.05). When the differences between the age subgroups were evaluated, there was significant difference only at the widest distance of cranium (CW; p = 0.008); and it was observed that the average has increased with age in both genders. When the golden ratio was examined, the ratio of the distance between anterior nasal spine and nasion to the height of piriform aperture (NSA~N:PAH) was found to be within the limits of the golden ratio in males (p = 0.074). No golden ratio has been found in females. Conclusions: In our study, significant differences were detected between genders in all parameters of PA and in some parameters of the close cranial structures in the age group we examined. The effect of age was detected only in the CW parameter, and the PA and close cranial structures were not affected. In our study, the averages of the morphometric measurements of 13 parameters of young adults were determined. The PA and surrounding cranial structures are important for the area and related surgical procedures; however, gender differences must be considered in this respect. In addition to this, in the PA, which is the anterior limit of the skeletal nose in males, the NSA~N:PAH ratio having the ideal golden ratio limits is valuable in aesthetical terms and due to its position of the PA in the face.

“…Only the nasal bone sizes were examined as craniofacial parameters in male cases in which the PA length was 3.34±0.29 cm. In a different study conducted with the help of CT, the PA length was 38.24±7.82 mm [17]. In the study investigating the upper and lower width of PA according to age groups, the mean PA subwidth was 23.6±0.5 mm among males [2].…”

“…The Uthman et al study using 88 head CT scans in the Iraq population described a significant difference in the size of the foramen magnum in men and women with an accuracy rate of sex determination of 81% (Uthman et al, 2012). The Abdelaleem et al study used 250 head CT scans in the Egyptian population shows that piriform aperture can be used for sex determination (Abdelaleem et al, 2016). This study conducted a craniometric study of adult head CT scans in Indonesia, especially in dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya, related to the identification of age and gender, so that it can be used in Disaster Victim Investigation.…”

BACKGROUND: Enforcement of the identification of dead victims is very important for personal, social and legal interests. However, identification of large numbers of victims (mutilation, decomposition, burning, destroyed) is not easy. This study conducted a craniometric study of adult head CT scans in Indonesia, particularly at the dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya, related to the identification of a person, so that it can be used in Disaster Victim Investigation (DVI). OBJECTIVE: Analyzing craniometric data from adult head CT scans at the Radiodiagnostic Installation of dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya to identify age and gender. METHODS: Retrospective analytic observational. RESULT: A total of 204 adult head CT scans at the Radiodiagnostic Installation of dr. Soetomo General Hospital in August-December 2019 were evaluated retrospectively, consisting of 112 men (54.9%) and 92 women (45.1%). Of the 22 craniometrics evaluated, the test results showed no correlation between age with 15 male craniometrics and 17 female craniometrics (ρ>0.05), weak correlations in 6 male craniometrics and 5 female craniometrics (ρ<0.05; r= 0.21 to 0.40), and a very weak correlation in 1 male craniometrics (ρ<0.05; r= 0.00 to 0.20). There are 10 craniometrics that have differences with statistically strong evidence between male and female groups (ρ<0.001). Discriminant analysis showed a cutting score of-0,00025, with an accuracy rate of gender identification of 91.2%. CONCLUSION: Craniometrics from adult head CT scans can be used for gender identification with an accuracy rate of 91.2%, but cannot be used for age identification.
