Study Notes
Occipito-mental Assessment
- Assessing the occipito-mental relationship involves verifying if the distance from the lateral orbital wall to the outer skull margins is equal on both sides.
- This evaluation helps identify potential asymmetries or abnormalities in the facial structure, potentially related to skeletal discrepancies or developmental conditions.
- Unequal distances might suggest underlying anatomical variations or pathologies.
