The measurements of head circumference were obtained from a randomly collected sample size of 1600 (800 males and 800 females).Measurement was carried out usings standard methods. Craniofacial dimensions of the males were significantly higher than those of the females in all the facial parameters. It was observed that the head circumference is the most reliable criteria for differentiating normal from idiopathic benign macrocephaly and microcephaly since there was no significant difference in other craniofacial parameters. This study has shown that the Ikwerres are a distinct...

The study was directed primarily towards estimating the normal values of head circumference, facial, nasal, maxillary, mandibular, and oro- facial heights of adult Andoni and Okrika ethnic group in Rivers state. The ages ranged from 18- 60 years. The choice of study was deliberate since facial growth changes are minimal at that age range . This study was also aimed at determining if there exist a significant difference in the head circumference and facial dimension between the male and female subjects and also between the two ethnic groups.
