Evaluation of #Canthaldimensions can be employed in identification of
the sex, age and ethnicity. It is also a vital part of craniofacial
anthropometry. This study was aimed at obtaining normal values of
canthal dimensions in adults of the #Ejaghamethnicgroup in Cross River
State of South-South Nigeria. A total of Five hundred subjects (250
males and 250 females) aged 18-45 years were recruited for this study.
The
subjects were measured for #innercanthaldistance (ICD) and outercanthal
distance (OCD) with a nonstretchable plastic ruler and canthal index
(CI) was obtained as the ratio of inner canthal distance and the outer
canthal distance multiplied by 100. The results we obtained showed that
Ejagham males and females had outer canthal distances of 11.42 cm and
11.23 cm, respectively, whereas inner canthal distances were 3.40
cm for Ejagham males and 3.20 cm for the Ejagham females.
