Purpose: Cranial Index (CI) determination is of clinical significance in the evaluation of skull growth and development in children. This study investigated cranial index in computed tomography (CT) scans of children seen in the Radiology Department of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital Sokoto, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A total of CT scan records of 76 children (42 males and 34 females) with normal brain development were used for this retrospective study. The cranial length (CL) and cranial width (CW) were measured on the axial CT and cranial index calculated as the percentage of cranial width to cranial length multiplied by 100. Mean values of CL, CW, CI as well as standard deviations and standard error of mean were calculated for both sexes. Results: The overall mean values for cranial length was 16.45±1.01, cranial width 13.01±0.94 and CI was 79.12±3.37. Meanwhile in males, the CI was 78.35±3.23 and 80.08±3.34 in females respectively. Thus, classifying head patterns based on the CI values seen in this study, 55.26% of the children had mesocephalic head shape and 28.95% had brachycephaly. Dolicocephaly and hyperbrachycephaly had a frequency of 7.89% each. Conclusion: Cranial Index (CI) reported in this study showed that most of the children had mesocephalic head shape (55.26%) with dolicocephaly (7.89%) and brachycephaly (7.89%) less common. The observed difference between the mean cranial index of males and females was statistically significant (p = 0.025). The report from this study is of importance in the field of pediatric neurology, anthropology as well as genetics and forensic medicine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Amaç: Kranial endeksin belirlenmesi çocuklarda kafatasý büyümesi ve geliþiminin belirlenmesinde klinik bir öneme sahiptir. Bu çalýþmada Nijerya'da Usmanu Danfodiyo üniversitesi Sokoto araþtýrma hastanesi radyoloji bölümüne baþvuran çocuklarýn bilgisayarlý tomografi (BT) taramasý ile kranial endeksleri belirlenmiþtir. Materyal ve Metod: Normal beyin geliþimine sahip 76 çocuðun (42 erkek ve 34 kýz) BT taramasý bu retrospektif çalýþma için kullanýlmýþtýr. Kranial uzunluk ve kraniyal geniþlik aksiyal BT'de ölçülmüþ, kraniyal indeks, kraniyal geniþliðin kraniyal uzunluða oranýnýn 100 ile çarpýlmasý ile hesaplanmýþtýr. Kranial uzunluk, kraniyal geniþlik, kranial indeks'in ortalama deðerleri ve ortalamanýn standart sapma ve standart hata deðerleri her iki cinsiyet için hesaplanmýþtýr. Bulgular: Kranial uzunluk için ortalama deðer 16.45±1.01, kranial geniþlik için ortalama deðer 13.01±0.94 ve kranial indeks için ortalama deðer 79.12±3.37 olarak bulunmuþtur. Kranial indeks erkeklerde 78.35±3.23, kýzlarda 80.08±3.34 olarak saptanmýþtýr. Böylece bu çalýþmada kranial indeks deðerlerine göre kafa modellerini sýnýflandýrýlmýþtýr, çocuklarýn %55.26'sı mesosefalik kafa, %28.95'i ise brakisefaliye sahiptir. Dolikosefali ve hiperbrakisefalinin her birinin frekansı %7.89'dur. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada rapor edilen kranial indekse göre çocukların büyük kısmı mesosefalik kafa şekline (%55.26), daha az yaygın olarak da Dolikosefali (%7.89) ve hiperbrakisefaliye (%7.89) sahiptir. Erkek ve kızlarda ortalama kranial indeks değerleri arasında gözlenen farklılık istatistiki olarak anlamlıdır (p=0.025). Bu çalışmanın sonucu, pediatrik nöroloji, antropoloji aynı zamanda genetik ve adli tıp bakımından önem taşımaktadır. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
