Introduction: Craniofacial anthropometric parameters are believed to specify sex, age and racial existence of an unknown person. Aim: The aim of this study is to assess and identify the head shape of Ekowe people and to ascertain whether there is sexual difference. Materials and Methods: Cranial measurements such as biparietal diameter and occipiofrontal diameter were carried out on 300 subjects, comprising of 179 males and 121 females of Ekowe indigenes and were between the age range of 18 years and above. In addition, cephalic index was calculated from these parameters. Results: The resultant mean values of biparietal diameter B(head breadth) was 16.50±1.82 and 16.23±1.73 for males and females. Mean values of occipitofrontal diameter (head length) for males and females were 28.03±1.35 and 27.58±1.04. Cephalic index was 59.07±7.17 and 58.98±6.91 for males and females. Sexual dimorphism was observed in occipitofrontal diameter and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). The percentage of head shape analysis indicates that only 0.3% each for the males and females sampled population were mesocephalic in shape (moderate or medium head shaped). None was brachycephalic for both males and females. About 59.3 % of the male sample and 40% of the female sample were dolichocephalic in shape (long head). Conclusion: We conclude that the Ekowe people are long headeds. The findings from this study have shown to be very useful in forensic medicine, genetics and craniofacial surgery.
