Nov 3, 2023 · The apex of the orbit is the optic foramen (canal), bound medially by the body of the sphenoid bone and laterally by the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone. It is medial to the superior orbital fissure. The optic foramen provides passage for the optic nerve (CN II) and ophthalmic artery to exit the skull.

- Base. Also called the orbital margin or rim, it is the side of the orbit that opens toward the front of the face. It is bordered by the eyelids and has the following 4 margins
- Apex. It is the posteromedial surface pointing towards the skull. This side of the cavity is bound by the sphenoid bone. This is where the optic foramen opens up into the optic canal.
- Roof. It is the superior wall of the orbital cavity, bound by the frontal bone and the sphenoid’s lesser wing. This is the wall that marks the division between the orbital cavity and the anterior cranial fossa.
- Medial Wall. As the name suggests, this is located medially or towards the side of the nose. 4 bones contribute to forming this wall – ethmoid, lacrimal, maxilla, and sphenoid.

Apex. It is the posteromedial surface pointing towards the skull. This side of the cavity is bound by the sphenoid bone.
Jun 25, 2024 · Orbital rim fracture – This is a fracture of the bones forming the outer rim of the bony orbit. It usually occurs at the sutures joining the three bones of the orbital rim – the maxilla, zygomatic and frontal. ‘Blowout’ fracture – This refers to partial herniation of the orbital contents through one of its walls.

Jul 24, 2023 · The floor of the orbit consists of three bones: the maxillary bone, the palatine bone, and the orbital plate of the zygomatic bone. This part of the orbit is also the roof of the maxillary sinus. There is an infraorbital groove along the floor and it travels into a canal anteriorly where it eventually exits as the infraorbital foramen.

Feb 20, 2024 · The orbital bones join to form the orbit or socket of the eye, where the eyeball rests. The orbital structure provides pathways for the eye to connect with the nerves, lacrimal apparatus, adipose tissues, blood vessels, and extraocular muscles. This enables the eye to move and function properly. 1 It also protects the eye from injury in case of ...

Jul 30, 2015 · Orbital Bones. Bones of the orbit and some of the major landmarks. There are 7 bones that comprise the orbit. It is our job as ophthalmologists to be able to readily identify these bones and know pretty much every bump, notch, hole, and contour of these bones and what structures pass through, travel along, and attach to these bones. The bones are:
