Abstract
Palpebral fissure length [used to assess fetal alcohol syndrome] and head circumference were measured in 170 black and 170 Hispanic normal children aged 1 mo to 16 yr. Eye measurement values were compared with those for white children. It was found that black children have longer palpebral fissures than whites and in certain age groups, than Hispanics. A statistically significant correlation between palpebral fissure length and head circumference was established in black children.
