Tables of cranial and orbital measurements, cranial volume, and derived indexes in males and females from 7 days to 20 years of age

A series of head measurements were made in both sexes during the growth period from 7 days to 20 years of age. The measurements included head circumference, breadth, length, and height as well as interpupillary distance and the lateral orbital and medial canthal dimensions; all were expressed as means ± standard deviation in centimeters. In addition, cranial volumes were calculated from the three cranial dimensions according to a previosuly validated formula, and various cranial and orbital indexes were determined for all growth stages.
