  • *This study measured cadaveric SSS and stated that cross-sectional measurements of SSS were of height and width, as the SSS is triangular in cross-section. Bruno-Mascarenhas et al describe arc length measurement as the distance along a long silk thread from the site of origin (glabella) to the site of termination (torcula) of the SSS.
