Abstract
We describe a new anthropometric index, the "auriculocephalic index." It results from the ratio between the length of auricle and the corresponding preauricular head height. The index is independent of sex and of age. Normally it ranges between 0.25 (-2s) and 0.33 (+2s). In syndrome delineation it may help to diagnose more precisely large or small auricles as phenogenetic variants.
