Background: The knowledge of morphometry of the normal human ear is required for the diagnosis of syndromes, surgical reconstructions, personal identification & the design of hearing aids in earphone instruments. The present study was planned to know the physical variations in ear morphometry of medical students belonging to the Chhattisgarh region. Aim: To study the morphometric measurements of ear auricles& lobules among the student population and set the standard for the Chhattisgarh region. Methods: Measurements were taken from 200 healthy medical students aged 18-25 years, from Pt. J. N. M. Medical College Raipur Chhattisgarh by using a digital vernier calliper &recording in a proforma after taking written consent. The parameters measured were auricle height, auricle widths lobular height, and widths of right & left ears in both males and females. Results: The mean total auricle height and width, total lobular height and width across the entire study for both left and right sides were 59.78 ± 4.04 & 59.39 ± 4.32, 30.89 ± 3.06 & 30.74 ± 3.18, 20.22 + 3.35 & 19.49 ± 3.14 and 19.04 ± 3.58 & 18.85 ± 3.70 respectively. The effect of gender on the parameters measured reached statistical significance only in the cases of left auricle width (P = 0.0002) and right lobular width (P = 0.0006); other parameters were not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: This will be useful in surgery, forensic human identification & product designs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
