title: [Interorbital distance in the skull of the newborn infant].
abstract: Authors have measured interorbital radiological distance in 45 newborns (26 males and 19 females), with a gestational age of 37.644 +/- 3.682 weeks (mean +/- SD), with a range of 25 to 42 weeks. The values obtained were 15.538 +/- 2.437 millimeters (mean +/- SD) for males and 15.894 +/- 1.943 mm (mean +/- SD) for females. The interorbital distance has a positive correlation with gestational age, weight, bizygomatic distance and minimal frontal width. Interorbital distance is closely correlated to the minimal frontal width in males.
