We calculated the ratios of cranial height to cranial base lengths 1 and 2, cranial height to length, cranial height to width, and cranial width to length (cranial index [CrI]). We evaluated if total PF area and number of cranial sutures affected by PFs were associated with craniometric measurements and their ratios and craniofacial angles.
