We also correlated all measurements with gender and head circumferences. The anthropometric measurements were performed on 86, normal term newborns (40 mates and 46 females) in the first 48 hours after delivery. There was no significant difference between either sex, or between the right and left eyes. In contrast, a statistically significant positive correlation was found between the head circumference and the horizontal fissure length (r = 0.42, p < 0.01). In addition, a significant correlation was found between the upper eyelid crease distance and the horizontal and the vertical fissure lengths (r = 0.27, p < 0.01; r = 0.22, p < 0.05, respectively). The results indicate that the normal eyelid crease location may be used as a landmark for guidance to plan surgical and reconstructive procedures.en10.1007/s00276-001-0321-6info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEyelidAnthropometric MeasurementNewbornArticle23532132411824131Q2WOS:000172595000007Q4
