چکیده
In all animals, the head forms the most complex structure of the body. This is especially important in humans: not only the head houses the central nervous system, the eyes and inner ear structures, and the first part of the digestive and respiratory apparatuses, but it is characterized by the face.

Partial degloving injuries are described but hemifacial degloving with zygoma avulsion are rare. The author presents a case of post-traumatic degloving of the left upper lip, nose, part of forehead, upper and lower eyelids and cheek with avulsion of the left zygoma. The management include...
متن کاملLarge-scale in-vivo Caucasian facial soft tissue thickness database for craniofacial reconstruction.
A large-scale study of facial soft tissue depths of Caucasian adults was conducted. Over a 2-years period, 967 Caucasian subjects of both sexes, varying age and varying body mass index (BMI) were studied. A user-friendly and mobile ultrasound-based system was used to measure, in about 20min per subject, the soft tissue thickness at 52 facial landmarks including most of the landmarks used in pre...
متن کاملPractical Application of Anatomy of the Oral Cavity in Forensic Facial Reconstruction
The oral cavity's importance in defining the facial region makes it a primary feature for forensic facial reconstruction (FFR). The aim of this study is to construct a pattern of reference for dimensions and proportions of the lips and establish parameters that may help estimate the vermilion borders' height dimensions and the mouth's width. By means of cone beam computed tomography, divided in...
