We aimed to investigate whether abnormalities in craniometric measurements could characterize male CH patients and represent reliable and reproducible diagnostic biomarkers able to identify CH patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Brain CT images were recorded between 2018 and 2020 in 24 male patients with CH and in 24 matched healthy controls (HC). Then, craniometric measurements were obtained, and logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curves analyses were used to identify the craniometric abnormalities able to distinguish CH patients from HC.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Logistic regression analyses showed that frontal bone height and facial width were able to discriminate, one independently from the other, CH patients from HC with an overall accuracy of 77%. The optimal cutoff score in detecting the probable presence of CH was 11.50\u2009cm for frontal bone height and 13.30\u2009cm for facial width.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In the present study we found, for the first time by means of brain 3D computed tomography approach, abnormal craniometric measurements in CH patients when compared with HC.
