Abstract: The craniometrical indicators of the facial skull were studied in 40 specially selected human skulls from the craniological collection of the fundamental museum of the human anatomy department of the Azerbaijan Medical University. It was established that among the studied skulls, mesoproseps prevail in the shape of the facial skull, and leptorrhines in the shape of the nose. In the female seri-es, a significant asymmetry was determined by the nazion-zygomaxillary indicator for chamerins left-sided, for leptorrhines right-sided, whereas in the mezorin group the asymmetry was right-si-ded and insignificant. A steady trend towards left-sided asymmetry was found in almost all indica-tors of the “side fan” in the men's series. The only exception was the distance from the point of the zygomaxillary to the lowest point of the pear-shaped hole, along which the right-sided asymmetry was noted in the male series.
