Cranial measurements were taken; data was tabulated and statistically analyzed Results: The study showed that the mean cranial index was 77.89±3.55. The mean cranial index for male was 77.65 ±3.34 and for female was 78.13 ±3.76. The difference between male and female cranial index was statistically significant (p< 0.001).
