Abstract

Objective: To describe some features of frontalis muscle in adult Viet people. Subject and method: 12 hemi-faces (right: 7, left: 5) of Vietnamese cadavers (average age: 73.00 ± 13.39 years (52 - 88 years); 4 men and 3 women) were studied for frontalis muscle. Method: Cross-sectional description with analysis. Result and conclusion: The inner edge length of the frontalis muscle were 66.56 ± 5.57mm (54.88 - 74.34mm), on the outer edge, the average were 48.65 ± 7.18mm (37.38 - 62.12mm). The width and thickness of frontalis muscle at the eyebrow were 60.86 ± 5.42mm (50.62 - 67.88mm) and 0.50 ± 0.06mm (0.42 - 0.62mm). The frontalis-orbicularis angle (FOA) was 73.92 ± 7.37o (62 - 85o). The height, width, thickness of the frontalis muscle and frontalis-orbicularis angle (FOA) on the right and left side were not statistically significant (p>0.05).
