Two hundred term healthy neonates were examined and 14 anthropometric measurements were taken in the face and ear region. Difference between the sexes was observed in ear length, ear breadth, and philtrum. Significant correlation was found between ear placement and ear length; and outer and inner canthal distances (p less than 0.001). The paper provides baselines data for facial growth measurements and discusses the utility of these measurements in detecting dysmorphogenesis in neonates.
对200名足月健康新生儿进行了检查,并在面部和耳部区域进行了14项人体测量。在耳长、耳宽和人中方面观察到了性别差异。发现耳部位置与耳长以及内外眦间距之间存在显著相关性(p<0.001)。本文提供了面部生长测量的基线数据,并讨论了这些测量在检测新生儿畸形发生中的实用性。
