Ear size and shape in newborns and children are genetically determined and change significantly during the first 15 months. These developmental changes are crucial for forensic identification in children.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Anthropology
  • Genetics

Context:

  • Previous anatomical studies focused on ear measurements.
  • The auricula's size, form, and condition were systematically investigated in newborns and children.
  • Ear morphology is influenced by genetic factors.

Purpose:

  • To systematically study the size, form, and condition of the auricula in newborns and children.
  • To identify age-related changes in ear morphology.
  • To provide data for forensic identification.

Summary:

  • This study analyzed 144 newborns and children, examining the auricula's size, form, and condition.
  • Significant age-related changes in ear morphology were observed, particularly between 9 and 15 months.
  • Eight specific characters were identified to change with age, with outcomes validated on 732 pupils.

Impact:

  • Findings offer critical data for forensic medicine, aiding in the identification of unknown children.
  • Understanding these developmental changes is essential for accurate identification in mass disaster scenarios.
  • Establishes normative data for pediatric ear morphology relevant to identification science.
